Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) commonly known as hyaline membrane syndrome occurs in many premature births. As the gestational age for a baby decreases subsequently the likelihood of them having this condition will increase because their lungs are severely underdeveloped. The problems that stem from RDS include lack of surfactant, smaller alveolar surface span, elevated compliance of the small airways, and occasionally the ductus arteriosis might be a factor if it doesn’t close shortly…

One of the main goals in the field of exercise science is to determine methods of enhancing performance during exercise or competition. When comparing methods of performance enhancement two essential theories come to mind: utilization of the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) and post activation potentiation (PAP), which both result from pre-activation (Fukutani, Misaki & Isaka, 2016, Nibali, Chapman, Robergs & Drinkwater, 2013) The SSC focuses on increases in muscle force output through a…

Respiration Rate Name: Tristan Addley Aim: The aim of the activity the group performed was to measure and record the repertory rate after 2 minutes of exercise for 5 minutes recording the breathes every minute. Introduction: The respiratory system responds to the demand of exercise by making us breathe faster as the muscles in our body require more energy when put under more physical exercise. When humans breathe the body converts oxygen in the air into energy, which is then…

Is it important to understand the structure of our muscles? And if so how could this improve the results of our muscle exercise routine? One wise thing to do when deciding the muscles exercise technique we are going to adopt is to find out the type of structure a muscle is made of, muscles as we know are formed by either a slow-contract structure or a fast-contract structure, for example a muscle made of high level of slow-contracts structure reacts more favorably to high repetitions, so high…

If you need an adaptable, convenient exercise that you can perform almost anywhere, jumping jacks may be a great option for you. This convenient exercise helps strengthen multiple muscle groups while providing an aerobic workout that burns calories. Because of the impact involved, jumping jacks aren’t for everyone. Talk to your doctor before starting a routine that includes jumping jacks, especially if you have joint pain or instability. Warm-Up Jumping jacks are an ideal warm-up exercise.…

Weight training has become a very popular sport among people of all ages and genders. Whether a person is young or old, male or female, staying in shape is a vital part of living a healthy life. People all over the world have started getting healthier to increase lifespan and overall well being. So, how could something that has such good effects be dangerous? Weight lifting can be dangerous in many ways. One way is consistency. If you take extensive breaks from a heavy-lifting program for…

Training and Fitness Program The objective of every training lesson is to improve performance. Each session needs to be well planned to improve fitness for a specific fitness level depending on the type of sport. The sport, which I have decided to discuss for health and fitness, is Netball. It is a game that is very exciting, which involves running, jumping, throwing, catching, and it is well known internationally. Yes, mostly a female game and not much played in the USA. It is very similar…

cardiovascular responses in addition to increased stroke volume and heart rate. For example, exercise will result in a general, sympathetic vasoconstriction of arterioles with local overrides of endocrine vasodilation. Exercise also influences pulmonary physiology. The increased demand for oxygen intake and carbon dioxide expulsion results in an increase in pulmonary airflow and pulmonary ventilation, accomplished primarily through increases in breathing rate.E While pulmonary airflow and…

Using the Horizontal Compression buttons and the scroll bar, display the trace and table of results for each exercise. Email the report to yourself and use your results to answer the following questions, including the trace and table of results where appropriate. You should read through your lecture notes on the respiratory system; the background information for this class on Moodle; and section 23-7 in Martini (2012) p830-838. Please hand your individual work into the Student Centre by the…

CrossFit is a quickly growing division in the athletic community. Created in 2000, the sport was developed to strengthen the human body while also improving its mobility. All CrossFit workouts are based on the core movements of life. These movements reflect the aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. There are three main different kinds of workouts for both the professional and average crossfitter. Those three are the Endurance, Strength and Speed workouts. A huge factor…
