I've Got the Power (Ages 16-19)

These four experiments look at what limits our performance during exercise and how we produce the energy that we require to move our bodies during different types of exercise.

In these experiments, the role of aerobic and anaerobic respiration are compared and students investigate how their bodies use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for muscle contraction and movement.

Using the provided respirometers, pulse oximeters and blood pressure monitors they will explore the physiological effects of exercise on their bodies.

Produced by the Wellcome Trust, In The Zone is a major UK initiative inspired by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It has been awarded the London 2012 Inspire Mark and is part of Get Set +, the official London 2012 education programme.
