Scientific principles: Respiration
o Explain the science behind each of
your physiological measurements
for rate of respiration. This should
include:
o State the respiration word, symbol
and balanced equation of
respiration
o Discuss how production of CO2 is
measured
o Discuss how uptake of O2,is
measured;
o Discuss the factors affecting rate of
respiration to include:
o Temperature
o Concentration of
glucose
o pH levels
o ethical use of organisms
o metabolic rate at rest
and whilst exercising
o Discuss the science behind
measurements of peak flow, lung
capacity, blood pressure.

Medical contexts to measuring respiration
o Discussion of the use of measurements in
monitoring cardiovascular, circulatory
and respiratory systems in humans for:
o Diagnosis of disease
o Improvement of performance
in sport
o Recovery from illness or injury.
o Discussion of how measurements of peak
flow, lung capacity and blood pressure
are used giving examples and normal
levels/readings for each.
o Discussion of how elevated/depressed
measurements of peak flow, lung
capacity and blood pressure are used
giving examples of abnormal
levels/readings for each.
o Discussion of how sport physiologists
measure:
o energy expenditure and input
o metabolic rate at rest and
whilst exercising
o The effect of temperature
and exercise on rate of
respiration
