Apex beat. The apex beat (lat. ictus cordis ), also called the apical impulse, [1] is the pulse felt at the point of maximum impulse ( PMI ), which is the point on the precordium farthest outwards (laterally) and downwards (inferiorly) from the sternum at which the cardiac impulse can be felt. The cardiac impulse is the vibration resulting from ...
Recent research suggests that the fixed-rate single-step test is a reliable predictor of VO 2 max ( 3 ). During this test, you take steps up and down at a specific pace while measuring your heart ...
Method 1: Radial pulse. To check your pulse using this method, you’ll be finding the radial artery. Place your pointer and middle fingers on the inside of your opposite wrist just below the ...
75–112. 105–127. Monitoring your heart rate while you run can help you achieve your goals. For example, if your heart rate is too low for your desired intensity, you need to push harder. If it ...
A healthy heart rate for adults over 18 is usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Your number may vary. The best time to measure your resting heart rate is just after you wake up in ...
The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) is a widely used measure of impulsiveness. It includes 30 items that are scored to yield six first-order factors ( attention, motor, self-control, cognitive complexity, perseverance, and cognitive instability impulsiveness) and three second-order factors (attentional, motor, and non-planning impulsiveness).
The Auditory Hazard Assessment Algorithm for Humans (AHAAH) is a mathematical model of the human auditory system that calculates the risk to human hearing caused by exposure to impulse sounds, such as gunfire and airbag deployment. It was developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to assess the effectiveness of hearing protection ...
Overview. Your pulse is the vibration of blood as your heart pumps it through your arteries. You can feel your pulse by placing your fingers over a large artery that lies close to your skin. The ...
