On November 3, 2016 at 5:30 pm, I attended a cycling group fitness session instructed by Liza A. The class was held on the second floor of the Student Recreation Center. Cycling is a rigorous cardiovascular training using an indoor cycling bike. Through the workout you do sprints, jogging, and climbing in either position 1,2, or 3. The instructor used various motivational techniques. She would personally praise an individual for having good form and for excelling on the bike. After every sprint or high intensity interval, she would congratulate the class for doing a great job. One motivation technique that she used to get everyone to power through their last sprint was that she told everyone to do an intermediate recovery in position 3, which is standing up and hands on top of the handle bars, while one row at a time took their turn to do a 25 second sprint. This technique gave everyone the courage and mindset to know that for 25 seconds we can give it our all. …show more content…
There was various intensity level through the workout for warm up we stayed between 60-65 RHR, during the climb we would have a range of 65-75 RHR, the jogging intensity range was 75-85 RHR, and the sprints we had an intensity range of 95-105 RHR. The cycling class was a 50-minute workout session. The workout consists of 5 minutes’ warm-up, 40 minutes of the actual workout and 5 minutes for a cool down and stretch. This workout has a steady incline and have its peak at the end right before the cool down. The workout is a cardiovascular workout that targets the lower body and abdomens area of the
While she was racing Greta did not once think about the people in front of her or how many people had she passed or been passed by. In the passage it says, “The cheers of the crowd revived her, and with a final surge, she strode down Ali Drive, crossing the finish line with a young man from Switzerland, who grabbed her hand and held it with his over their heads. This shows that winning wasn’t the point of the race. The point of the race was to finish. She crossed the finish line with a man from Switzerland, but she wasn’t concerned with beating him to the finish line, all she was focused on was getting to the finish line. In the race all she focused in was being able to do the best she could. Having the ability to complete along fellow athletes was her dream come true. All she cared was about having the strength and using her training to be able to complete the Ironman. Throughout her run she faced many obstacles, but she kept preserving and she never gave up, and that's what the race was about to her. The race was a chance to demonstrate and prove to herself that she was able to accomplish her dream. Her thoughts throughout the race help show the reader that just being able to finish was her dream, and accomplishing your dream is truly
In this lab, we explored the theory of maximal oxygen consumption. “Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is defined as the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken up and utilized by the body during severe exercise” (Bassett and Howley, 2000). VO2max is measured in millimeters of O2 consumed per kilogram of body weight per min (ml/kg/min). It is commonly known as a good way to determine a subject’s cardio-respiratory endurance and aerobic fitness level. Two people whom are given the same aerobic task (can both be considered “fit”) however, the more fit individual can consume more oxygen to produce enough energy to sustain higher, intense work loads during exercise. The purpose of this lab experiment was performed to determine the VO2max results of a trained vs. an untrained participant to see who was more fit.
The first participant measured her pulse rate for 30 seconds before starting the exercise. Her pulse rate was calculated to determine the number of beats per minute. She then stepped on the platform (up and down) and continued at a slow pace for 3 minutes. After three minutes of the exercise, she measured her pulse rate every minute to determine her recovery time. This process was repeated until her pulse rate returned to normal.
I described and applied physiological and biomechanical concepts related to physical activity and skill in EXS 397 lab. A student in the lab was tested on their VO2 max using The Bruce Treadmill protocol. With the data I recorded from the test, I was able to apply physiological and biomechanical concepts to explain the subject’s energy sources during the run.
The race holds a special place in her heart, as only 12 months ago she saw it pass by her window in the hospital, she told her doctor she wanted to begin training for the next race.
There are eight categories of verbal communication that are classified under the system of Group Development Observation System (Griffith & Dunham, 2015). The Group Development Observation System was developed to categorize verbal interactions within a group (Griffith & Dunham, 2015). The eight categories that can be used for classification are dependency statements, counterdependency statements, fight statements, flight statements, pairing statements, counterpairing statements, work statements, and unscorable statements (Griffith & Dunham, 2015). Dependency statements identify the dominant group mood (Griffith & Dunham, 2015). They also solicit direction (Griffith & Dunham, 2015). Counterdependency statements identify independence amongst
On one visit throughout my community and common environment I was able to observe three separate groups. Within this paper I will describe each group individually provide detailed information regarding body language of the group individually.
Even though the woman were working in extreme conditions and were very malnutritioned she made sure that they stay focused. She was determined to keep all of her woman working together. In the book, Nurse Anesthesia by John
This manuscript will cover the support group experience. This paper will provide insight from the observations of all four groups. This manuscript will discuss the stages each group were currently in. Leadership in the group was observed and this article will illustrate the dynamics of the style observed in the group and how productive the leadership was. Lastly, this report will mention some of the challenges observed and discussed at length during the sessions.
To determine if the intensity of exercise affects the heart rate of a 15-year-old boy. Apparatus - 2 stopwatches - 1 laptop (beep test) - 1 fire glass tape (min. 20 meters) - Chalk to mark 20 meters (start to finish). Method 1) Get beep test ready on laptop from - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0U_yQITBks - 2) Bring five male subjects ready at the starting line to run the beep test. 3) Mark 20 meters on the ground outside on the AstroTurf using a long tape.
AIM: - the aim of this experiment is to find out what the effects of exercise are on the heart rate. And to record these results in various formats. VARIABLES: - * Type of exercise * Duration of exercise * Intensity of exercise * Stage of respiration
Investigating the Effect of Exercise on the Heart Rate Introduction For it's size the heart has the huge capacity of pumping large amounts of blood, in the average adult's heart beats 60 to 100 times a minute, pumps between 70ml and 100ml of blood with each beat, circulates 5 to 6 litres of blood around the body per minute and about 13 litres of blood per minute during vigorous exercise. The heart will beat more then 2.5 billion times during an average lifetime. This investigation will be looking at the effect of exercise on the heart rate. Aim The aim of this investigation is to find out how exercise affects the heart rate, using research & experimenting on changes and increases in the heart rate using exercise. Research â— The heart The normal heart is a strong, hardworking pump made of muscle tissue.
Principals of Group Dynamics With Thomason Health System establishing an on-boarding team to facilitate the implementation of an electronic medical record system, it is important to take into consideration group dynamics. Groups can be made up of different individuals that are coming together to accomplish a specific goal. " Group dynamics" refers to the attitudinal and behavioral characteristics of a group. Group dynamics concern how groups form, their structure and process, and how they function" (Advameg, n.d.) In developing teams it is a good idea to have a basic sense of the various stages that occur when establishing a team and having awareness throughout the stages helps leadership understand the reasons for team members behaviors that occurred throughout each stage and helps guide these members to moving onto the next stage.
Cardiovascular fitness can also be known as cardiovascular endurance, aerobic fitness and cardiovascular respiratory fitness. In order to increase your cardiovascular conditioning you have to practice active high energy activities or active sporting activities which can be of enough intensity for getting your heartbeat into your target heart rate zone.
