Use medical tests to gather information about patients and determine how their cardiovascular systems respond to different exercise intensities.

Exercising can be hard. In this simulation you’ll discover why that is, and learn how your cardiovascular system behaves at rest and at different exercise intensities. This will give you an understanding of what is happening inside your body when exercising.
Understand the cardiovascular system function
Using different study subjects, you will first learn how the cardiovascular system changes when exercising. By observing different exercise intensities, you will be able to see how the functionality of the cardiovascular system progressively changes.
Measure several cardiovascular variables
In the simulation, you will measure the blood pressure of your study subject, like you would in real life. You will also determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure by using a sphygmomanometer. You can listen to the blood flowing through the arteries with the stethoscope as many times as you want, until you find the study subject’s blood pressure. You will also be able to measure heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output thanks to the advanced doppler ultrasound machine.
Run an experiment with several study subjects
Last, you will run an experiment with several study subjects at once. You will measure the above mentioned variables in patients at different exercise intensities, giving you a clear picture of how the functionality of the cardiovascular system changes with exercise intensity, and perhaps letting you discover mechanisms that you didn’t even know existed…

Labster integrates with all major LMS (Learning Management Systems) so that educators can use their gradebooks to track students’ performance data and students can keep a record of their work. Labster is compatible with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, Schoology, Sakai, and Brightspace / D2L. It’s also possible to use Labster without an LMS.
