About This Simulation
Use medical tests to gather information about patients and determine how their cardiovascular systems respond to different exercise intensities.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how the respiratory and cardiovascular system responds during exercise
- Understand how cardiac output and blood pressure can be measured
- Understand how heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance change with exercise
- Interpret data to assess possible cardiovascular problems during exercise
About This Simulation
Lab Techniques
- Analyze cardiovascular system variables
- Doppler ultrasound
- Blood pressure measured using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope
Related Standards
- HS-LS1-3
- No direct alignment
- Biology D.4 The heart
Learn More About This Simulation
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…

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is available for purchase by instructors, faculty, and administrators at education institutions. Purchasing our starter package, Labster Explorer, can be done using a credit card if you are located in the USA, Canada, or Mexico. If you are outside of North America or are choosing a higher plan, please speak with a Labster sales representative. Compare plans.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
