Concept explainers
To determine: The maximum heart rate of an individual during physical activities.
Introduction: Heart, blood and blood vessels together form the cardiovascular system. Oxygenated blood is circulated by heart throughout the body. Increase in physical activities results in increased inhalation of oxygen. This increase in oxygen intake increases the pumping action of heart, thereby increasing the supply of blood to skeletal muscles. Elevated pumping increases the heart rate.
To illustrate: The activities which help in increasing cardiovascular endurance.
Introduction: Physical activities are classified on the basis of their intensity. The cardiac output depends on the intensity of activity as well as the stamina of the individual. The potential of a person to do moderate or high intensity exercises for a long duration is termed as cardiovascular endurance or aerobic endurance.
