Heart Essay When a performer starts to exercise, they inevitably increase rate of respiration, meaning they require more glucose and oxygen (if aerobic) and need to primarily remove more carbon dioxide as well as lactic acid (if anaerobic). The first way this is done is by secretion of the hormone adrenaline into the bloodstream. Adrenaline in blood is picked up by chemoreceptors in the aortic arch, impulses are then sent to cardiac control centre (in the medulla oblongata) via sympathic nerve

techniques such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, wrist circumference for determining frame size, and a scale will be utilized. Students will also evaluate their own risk for cardiovascular disease and assess cardiovascular health in volunteers by measuring heart rate, filling out a heart disease risk score form, and estimating oxygen consumption and energy expenditure through a technique known as the Queens College Three-Minute Step Test.
