Value of Activities for SEHS Classroom:
These activities provide SEHS students with practical and engaging ways to explore the physiological systems, reinforcing their theoretical understanding through hands-on experiments. Each activity targets a specific aspect of the human body’s response mechanisms, fostering critical thinking and application skills in the context of sports and exercise health science.
List of Activities and Summations:
- Effects of Temperature on Body Functions:
Investigates how the body regulates temperature through the autonomic nervous system under varying environmental conditions.
- Exploring the Autonomic Nervous System:
Examines how the autonomic nervous system controls heart rate during exercise and recovery.
- Investigating Reflex Actions:
Explores the role of sensory, interneurons, and motor neurons in coordinating reflex actions through practical reflex tests.
- Measuring Blood Glucose Levels and Insulin Response:
Demonstrates how the endocrine system regulates blood glucose levels after consuming sugary substances.
- Blood Pressure and Baroreceptor Reflex:
Studies the baroreceptor reflex and its role in maintaining stable blood pressure during sudden changes in posture.
