A presentation which embodies the functioning of cardiovascular system and the food & exercises that are best fit.

2.  The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that
functions as the body’s circulatory pump.
 The heart takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and
delivers to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the
various arteries ( which provide oxygen and nutrients to body tissues
by transporting the blood throughout the body)
 The role of the heart is to supply the working muscles with oxygen
and energy, which is very important during sports and exercise.
 The hearty rate, which is also known as pulse, is a number of times
a person’s heart beats per minute. Heart rate is sometimes used as
a measure of how much oxygen you are using in order to gauge
exercise intensity.

3.  Types of heart conditions:
 Angina: happens when your heart isn’t getting enough blood
 Atrial Fibrillation: having an irregular pulse could be a sign of
abnormal heart rhythm
 High blood pressure: puts too much force on your blood vessels
 Cardiomyopathy: is a disease of the heart muscle, causing the heart
muscle to become enlarged, thick or gold
 Heart attack: occurs when blood flow to a section of the heart muscle
becomes blocked.
 Heart failure: does not mean your heart has stopped. It means it’s a
serious condition that requires medical care.

4.  Heart failure: does not mean your heart has stopped. It means it’s a
serious condition that requires medical care.
 Heart Valve Problems: when valves become diseased or damaged,
they may not fully open or close which can disrupt the flow of blood
through the heart
 Heart Valve Problems: when valves become diseased or damaged,
they may not fully open or close which can disrupt the flow of blood
through the heart

5. Cardio vascular
-supports immune function
 -transportation of nutrients and gas waste

6.  Exercise is a single bout of bodily exertion or muscular activity
requiring an expenditure of energy above resting levels
 Benefits of cardiovascular exercises
Improved heart health; Increased metabolism; Improved hormonal
profile; Improved recovery ability; Management of diabetes
 Exercise routine..
Warm-up : Helps with body adjustment slowly from rest to
exercise. Reduces the stress on your heart and muscles, slowly
improving your breathing and circulation.

7.  Body : Phase whereby benefits of exercises are gained. A point
whereby a heart rate is checked by the well known formula that is
Exercise Benefit Zone (EBZ).
 Cool down: Allows body to gradually recover. Stretching is a great
way of ending a workout routine.
 Example of a cardio exercise
 Zig zag running( Involves alternating short periods of cardio with
short periods of anaerobic exercises)
E.G : Place 5 cones 60cm apart in a straight line, followed by another 5
cones placed at a distance of 1.5m apart in a zigzag sequence. Then
learners will jog through the 5 cones, sprint to each cone placed in the
zigzag sequence.

8.  When you have been diagnosed with heart diseases or have had heart
surgery, exercise is an important part of keeping your condition under
control.

9.  Eating mostly or only fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains,
and meat substitutes like soy, you may cut your odds of getting heart
disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes,
compared to a diet that includes a lot more meat. You can eat a
plant-based diet without going completely vegetarian.
