Lab Report
Cardiovascular Function During
Exercise: Learn how your body
reacts to exercise
This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this
simulation, and to practice your written scientific communication skills. Include enough
detail to clearly describe the lab experience to someone who understands the concepts
but has yet to participate in the simulation. Use correct scientific terminology whenever
applicable.
Sections
1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis
2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic
3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation
4. Explain any obtained results
5. Discuss the conclusions and implications
, 1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis.
What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that
the hypothesis is a claim that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event
that has not yet occurred.
Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as shown in
the example image below).
For your entry make sure to include the following:
● Include one statement that describes the overall objective in your own words.
● Include one statement that describes the hypothesis.
The overall objective is to understand how the respiratory and cardiovascular
system responds during exercise, learn to measure cardiac output and blood
pressure, and Interpret data to assess possible cardiovascular problems during
exercise. My hypothesis was that all measurements would increase, but by less
than 8 times.
