 World of Work  Becoming a(n)... Physiologist  Context To be able to help someone to improve their condition, a sports physiologist takes measurements (heart rate) before and after a training program. Role Students are not placed explicitly in the role of physiologist. However, they are introduced to techniques that are regularly used by sports physiologists. Activity Students measure heartbeats in order to make predictions about the level of physical fitness using the Ruffier-Dickson-test and the Ruffier-Dickson index. Product The product is an investigation of different relationships between the Maximum Hart Rate, the age of a person, and advise for a training program. |
