Part 1 Response To The Fitness Run The fitness components used during the 12 minute run were aerobic and muscular endurance. We were asked to describe how we felt before and after the 12 minute run. Before the run I felt run down and tired. I was also cold because of the weather and wasn't very enthused about doing the run. During the run I began to find it harder to breath, chest tightness, my calves were sore and I began to yawn. After the run I felt hot, sweaty, tired and my skin was red. Respiratory system: VO2 maximum is also referred to the cardio respiratory endurance or aerobic capacity or maximum oxygen uptake. It is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen that your body can use for each kilogram of your body weight in one minute. The more oxygen you can use the more work you can do. To produce energy for cardio respiratory work, our muscles need a large supply of oxygen, and must be able to burn this oxygen efficiently. VO2 max. is the best way of measuring the efficiency of your circulatory, respiratory and muscular systems under exercise. The average Vo2 maximum for untrained females is 30-39mL/kg/min. My VO2 maximum was under 30mL/kg/min, which was ranked as poor. Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels. Blood pressure indicates peak pressure, when the blood is forced into the arteries and lowest blood pressure when the heart is filling. This comes into effect when running, blood pressure slows run.
