INTRODUCTION The purpose of this respiratory experiment is to measure lung function with the help of a spirometer. A spirometer is an instrument that has a measuring scale attached to it along with a long tube that is used to measure air volume while exhaling. Spirometry testing helps aid in detection of improper lung function and can lead to the diagnosis of various respiratory diseases. In the article, by Schermer, Van Weel, Poels, and Claverley, Spirometry can test for diagnosis of diseases. Previous
variables must remain the same for the experiment to work. Before creating an experiment one must decide the experimental group and the control group. The control group must stay the same throughout the experiment because it will be used for comparisons. The control group of this experiment was the amount of time one could hold his or her breath after sitting quietly. To separate the control and experimental group the experimental group must change and in this experiment it was the amount of time one could
lung capacity for an overall healthy body. A non-athlete however has atrophied muscles, decreased metabolic enzymes and a diminished lung capacity."(UK Essay,2013) For me to be able to experiment the difference in lung capacities between non-athletes and athletes I need to understand how the lungs work first. Breathing is the most crucial function in the body making our lungs contract and expand ,therefore, supplying our body with life-sustaining oxygen and removing from a waste product called carbon
The Advantages of Vape In a world of choices people often make the wrong one causing a decline in our health. That being said even after wrong choices are made an individual can still improve their lives. Often teens make the choice to experiment with cigarettes and dip early in high school and they develop lifelong habits that hurt themselves and others. In present day technology a safer alternative to cigarettes has been developed and this alternative can give a second chance to individuals without
conduits for contamination. Poorly constructed active wells can result in groundwater contamination. Poor casings, inadequate covers, or lack of concrete pads, may allow contaminated surface water into the well. Older wells are more prone to construction problems as they were constructed prior to established standards and regulations. Landfills also pose a threat to groundwater contamination. All our waste is taken to landfills to be buried. Unless there is a protective layer at the bottom of the
Question #2: Longitudinal research is a design in which the same individuals are followed over time and their development is repeatedly assessed. Furthermore, Cross-sequential research is a hybrid research design in which researchers first study several groups of people of different ages (a cross-sectional approach) and then follow those groups over the years (a longitudinal approach). Cross-sequential research is different from longitudinal research because this study can compare different population
The way you feel during your waking hours depends on how well you sleep at night. If you experience occasional or chronic sleep problems, it is important to learn ways to avoid the common enemies of good sleep. You can experiment with these sleep-promoting techniques and find the combination that works best for you. Having 7-8 hours of sound sleep may not be possible every night, but it is attainable most of the time. Sleeping healthily will mean that you will be mentally sharper and more productive
for enhancing adolescent health in schools remains partially or minimally attempted. Aims: To examine relevance of yogic life style education in improving holistic aspects of adolescent health in schools. Settings and Design: A four week field experiment was conducted on a sample of 100 students enrolled in a residential school located at semi-urban setting by utilizing 2 (Control and intervention group) X 2 (male and female students) X 2 (pre and post-test) factorial design. Methods and Material:By
In fact, there is an interesting study led by Dr. James Gangwisch on how sleep can improve the teenager's memory and health. St. George School in Rhode Island normally starts their school at 8 am. When the experiment began, it was pushed half an hour later. Over the three months of observation, teenagers became happier and livelier upon getting to school. They reported that pushing the time to 8:30 am encouraged them to sleep earlier for them to have longer
Thomas Hobbes, a famous English philosopher once proclaimed that the natural state of human life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Hobbes believed that without government and order the evil nature of mankind will surface and present its true colours. Indeed, this very idea is developed in the novel “Lord of the Flies” (LF) by William Golding, a story of a group of English boys who are stranded on an inhabited island after their plane was attacked during WW2. Golding purposely places
