Heart and Lung Sounds Assessments The knowledge of the normal heart sound, S1 then S2, will aid in the identification of the abnormal heart sounds as the changes of loudness of S1 or the “lub” in “lub-dup” may signify heart pathology. “The second heart sound has been called the key to heart disease” (Shindler, 2007).

Does an Increase in Heart Rate affect the height of a Vertical Jump? Introduction: Whether it’s dunking, spiking or getting over that bar, every athlete strives to perfect a high jump. A vertical jump is the action of increasing the centre of gravity in the vertical plane with only the use of one's own muscles (Verma, C, (2015)). The motion of a vertical jump is used in many sports including volleyball, basketball and even football. In sports such as volleyball it could mean the difference…

after exercising. Some of the control variables were the amount of time that subjects exercised (15 minutes), the age of the subjects that were tested (10-11 years old), and the timer used to keep track of how long the participant exercised and record pulse. The control group in this project was the group of subjects that walked. The experimental groups were the group of participants that ran, jump roped, and did jumping jacks. The procedures were…

cardiovascular exercise. She has recorded her beats per minute (BPM) and blood pressure before, during and after performing exercise with a heart rate monitor and a sphygmomanometer.

I want to get a 46 for the pacer test. I chose these two areas to work on because these are my weak points in the fitness test. I want to increase my endurance because I am going to join Track again this year and my goal for the pacer would help me become better at Track because I want to be in 1st-3rd place in the 100-meter dash. My long-term effect is I will reduce the risk of heart disease because endurance will make my heart healthier. I believe the cardiovascular strength that is tested in…

Purpose: Does the heart rate of a student rise more when the student is resting or exercising? It would be obvious that yes, a student’s heart rate would probably rise if they are exercising rather than resting. The data that has been taken down and tested have proven that statement to be true. Background Research: The background research that I have found that besides the difference between exercising and resting, age also has to do with the heart’s rate. The older a person gets the less…
