Abstract


This paper is aimed at identifying the influence of additional weights (AW), on the back or hands, on the functioning of the cardiac/circulatory system. Weight, as well as daily activities (going up and down the stairs, running, walking, etc.), have various effects on the function of the cardiac system, as we well know, sensations such as palpitations or hyperventilation. Considering the information above and using a blood pressure monitor and a pulse oximeter it was studied the influences of activities with AW on the functioning of the circulatory system. It was concluded that AW influences vital parameters, such as pulse and blood pressure, depending on the type of activity. The influences appear even in the absence of weight.
