Introduction

"Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain

life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and

respond to their environments.

Basic body metabolic parameters:

— pulse,

– respiration rate,

– blood pressure,

– temperature and sweat, can be measured.

The objective of this lab is to compare metabolic responses to three different

levels of exercise." (LabExercisePhysiology.pdf, school notes 2009)
