Essays on Kinematic

Part 1

The equipment used to assess VO2 max and lactate threshold includes the h/p/cosmos Pulsar 5.0 treadmill, the Cosmed Quark PFT Ergo testing equipment, the Cosmed V2 mask, the HR Belt Cosmed-ANT (w/transmitter), and a computer.

Calibration Processes

The preliminary step for the experiment is to perform the calibration of the equipment. The treadmill velocity should be calibrated by marking a point and noting the time it takes to complete a predetermined number of revolutions. This time is used to calculate the velocity by using the length of the belt, which should also be measured. These calibrations should be performed at different ...

Objective: Describe the linear motion of objects, and derive characteristics of that motion, by using the concepts and mathematics of kinematics.

Knowledge:

Questions What are the characteristics of an object in motion? What vocabulary can be used to discuss these characteristics? How can we describe these characteristics with standardized units? Key PointsEnsure understanding of displacement, velocity, time, and acceleration. Make sure students can convert between systems of measure.
