Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason if a person’s vital capacity is measured while standing and lying down.

Introduction:

Vital capacity (VC) is the most extreme measure of air an individual can remove from the lungs after a greatest inward breath. It is equivalent to the sum of inspiratory save volume, tidal volume, and expiratory conserve volume. Standard spirometer is the unit to measure a vital capacity of an individual.

A person’s vital capacity was measured while she was standing and while she was lying down. What difference, if any, in the measurement would you predict, and why?
Cycling is a form of exercise known to increase the heart rate. For cycling, four incline levels typically determine how much more intense you would like the workout to be. Level one is a walking pace, two is slightly more difficult, three is like cycling up a hill, and four is the most intense like cycling up a mountain. I will test the heart rate to see how it increases or decreases depending on each incline level. The moderate activity would be levels one and two, while the strenuous activity would be levels three and four. Before beginning the exercise, I will sit on the bike in a resting position to get my resting heart rate.  Then I will start the stopwatch on the bike that records my cycling time, heart rate, and RPM (revolutions per minute). I will start at level one for five minutes and then record my heart rate after the session.  I will rest for five minutes and then repeat the same process for each incline level (three more times; four in total).   What may be the…
