    The research administered by Scott & Sanderson (2002) measured the amount of damage inflicted in the muscles after a whiplash injury through the amount of the enzyme activity – specifically creatine kinase. Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme found in the muscles and presents itself in three distinct forms in the skeleton, brain, and heart. When CK is heightened after a severe impact, it can result in muscle soreness. The increase in CK is typically present within six to twenty-four hours of muscular

    experiment we strived to answer whether or not the type of exercise affects heart rate? We predicted that heart rate will increase slower when a human test subject is doing sit ups compared to burpee’s. Our null hypothesis stated that the heart rate will not change when a human test subject is doing sit ups compared to burpees. We conclude with all our data that Burpees increase heart rate faster than sit ups do, and that the type of exercise does affect your heart rate. The slope of the burpee

    had been an automatic concept our brain does for our bodies. Inhaling and exhaling air from the atmosphere around humans. Humans have always been aware of breathing but rarely paid attention to on a typical day. However when aerobic and anaerobic exercise has been taken place, it is important to control the breathing because it can lower the blood pressure and have effects on the cardiovascular modulation. A study shows that slow breathing during training can effectively increase the baroreflex efficiency1

    Conclusion & Evaluation: Conclusion: As depicted in my Hypothesis, Oxygen consumption rises, such as the heart rate when the body starts exercising.

The heart working together allows metabolism to occur in all parts and systems throughout the body. This is done as the lungs deliver oxygen and also removes wastes. Oxygen delivery

    There are three main energy systems used in a game of touch football which consist of the creatine phosphate (ATP PC) system, lactic acid system and the aerobic system. Each system plays a vital role during game play. Every muscle in your body requires energy to perform all movements, and to do this, the energy is produced by the breakdown of a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is found in all cells which is a chemical form of muscular activity and performs mostly all functions in

    1. Oxygen deficit occurs when the ATP production increases. It also occurs during the beginning of exercise. Anytime an individual changes the intensity of a workout, there will be an oxygen deficit. Oxygen deficit uses aerobic metabolism during an exercise bout. 2. The physiological reason that there is an oxygen deficit, is due to the slow phase and the and the rapid phase. The slow phase takes the body longer for the heart rate to decrease to its resting rate. This process includes aerobic metabolism

    increased metabolism. Other possible modulators can’t be responsible because of lack of exercise to induce their responses. Also, the less increase in all the parameters is likely a consequence of the body’s level of preparedness. The onset of the exercise recruits the muscles and ventilation needed to meet metabolic needs, and additional increases require minimal modulations. Moreover, additional increases in exercise intensity are not met with the same level of anticipation, so it is likely that motor
