Introduction: Procedures

The three different conditions of activity consists:

- Having a student volunteer laying down at complete rest for ten minutes. (For example: Having them rest laying down in a quiet place.)

- Having a student volunteer do a light activity for five minutes. (For example: Walking at their own rate.)

- Having a student volunteer do a intense activity for five minutes. (For example: Running, or even going up and down the stairs.)

After each activity the metabolic rates must be measured as quickly as possible using: oral thermometer, ordinary thermometer, sphymomanometer (blood pressure gauge), piece of microscope tissue (for sweat), and stethoscope.

- The oral thermometer should use cover slips and/or be disinfected with mouth wash before each use.
