Lab Title: Cardiovascular Stress / Date: 8-Dec-16

Purpose / Objective(s):

·  Purpose of Lab #4 is to stress out our cardiovascular (CV) system, while running in the parking lot for 5 minutes, and then come back into lab and measure our results at specific time intervals against others in the class

·  Make correlations between resting and peak elevation of cardiovascular between myself and classmates

·  Observe existing trends and look at correlations between data

Hypothesis (ese):

·  Heart rate (BPM or beats per minute) to be measured at sitting, standing and lying down in a supine position, and the heart rate should increase after aerobic exercise, and then theoretically decrease at longer time intervals (3 minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.)

·  Respiratory rate (RR or amount of breaths in and out per minute) to be measured at sitting, standing, and lying down in a supine position, and the respiratory rate should increase after aerobic exercise, and then theoretically decrease at longer time intervals (3 minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes)

·  Blood Pressure (BP or systolic pressure over diastolic pressure) to be measured at sitting, standing and lying down in a supine position, and the blood pressure should increase after aerobic exercise, and then theoretically decrease at longer time intervals (3 minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes)

·  Theoretically, older students in the class will have higher blood pressure, and probably higher heart rates, respiratory rates due to aging conditions of their body

·  Theoretically, males will show lower BMI (Body Mass Index) than females as they have leaner bodies and less adipose (fat tissue) than females

·  Theoretically, males will show a higher average height than females as males tend to be taller

·  Theoretically, athletes in the class will show lower BP, lower HR, lower RR than other students

·  Theoretically, I will show as the highest rate of blood pressure as I am the oldest student at age 44

·  The older a student is, the higher the weight and total BMI(Body Mass Index)

Materials / Subjects / Specimens:

·  In our group, we were able to get data from classmates for 4 females and 3 males from our Biology 105 class

·  Data was entered for height, weight, age, and BMI for each person

·  Cardiovascular statistics that were acquired are, for example, in this table, for pre-exercise, post-exercise, and timed intervals after exercise


(Example)

Position: / Heart Rate (HR or beats per minute) / Blood Pressure (BP or systolic/diastolic pressure) / Respiratory Rate (RR or breaths in and out per minute)
Sitting
Standing Up
Laying down supinely

Methods / Tools / Instrumentation / Procedures:

·  HR: For heart rate, we utilized our fingers to press at either the inside of the wrist ulnar artery or in the neck at the carotid artery to check for heart rate of beats per minute, and calculate time either on wall clock or an iPhone using the stopwatch function, performed while sitting, standing, and laying supine, before and after aerobic activity; normal adult rate is 60-100 BPM (beats per minute) http://www.hunterdonhealthcare.org/node/346

·  RR: For respiratory rate, one student in our group would breathe in and out and the other would watch the chest inhaling and exhaling and counting repetitions and calculate time either on wall clock or an iPhone using the stopwatch function; - performed while sitting, standing, and laying supine, before and after aerobic activity; normal RR is 12-16 breaths/minute for adults http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/cardiovascular_diseases/vital_signs_body_temperature_pulse_rate_respiration_rate_blood_pressure_85,P00866/

·  For blood pressure, in the lab we learned how to check pressure using a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff), and listening to hear systolic and diastolic pressure and record our findings and calculate time either on wall clock or an iPhone using the stopwatch function, performed while sitting, standing, and laying supine, before and after aerobic activity. http://www.practicalclinicalskills.com/blood-pressure-measurement.aspx High blood pressure is greater than 140/90 mmHg http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007490.htm

·  For height, weight, and BMI, this information was calculated and entered on a person-by-person basis in MS Excel and emailed to fellow teammates

Analysis: Tables

·  Figure #1 shows my personal data from 3 decades in my life, at ages 18, 35, and 44. At age 18, my BMI was low at 22; I was finishing high school, and was an athlete running cross country and track, and also doing competitive horseback riding, as well as swimming, biking, weight lifting and working on the family ranch to stay in shape. My weight and BMI increased at age 35 to 28 after having two kids, and currently it’s at 31 at age 41. Looking at this data, it is clear that my weight and BMI will continue to increase, putting me at risk for cardiovascular diseases and obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, unless I begin a weight loss and workout curriculum.

·  Figure #2 shows my personal data for heart rate at 3 ages (18, 35, 44) and current respiratory rate (age 44). While my blood pressure was fabulous at age 18, being 90/60, it is much higher now at 130/90 and I’m on blood pressure medication. It is advisable to lose weight and increase cardiovascular exercise to reduce risk of heart disease.

·  Figure #3 shows my current statistics post aerobic activity for heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. As my body is older and in less cardiovascular shape, it is showing a higher rate for all items measured.

·  Figure #4 shows more of my current statistics post aerobic activity for heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. As my body is older and in less cardiovascular shape, it is showing a higher rate for all items measured. This data set also points to the risks of being overweight, high BMI and lack of cardiovascular shape affecting heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rates.

·  Figure #5 shows the four females of our group with height, weight, age and BMI (Body Mass Index), totals and averages. The BMI averaged out to 25, with two females above that score (27 and 31) and two below (19 and 23). Ages varied from 19-44, with an average of 27. Weight average was 158.
