SIMULATING THE EFFECTS OF EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN BLOOD MASS FLOW AND METABOLISM DURING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Abstract
Physical exercise is simply an activity that requires physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health, fitness and wellbeing. This study is mainly aimed at simulating the effects of exponential increase in blood mass flow and metabolism during physical activity. The existing governing equation on physical exercise was modified in other to formed model equation that governs the phenomena under consideration and Olayiwola's Generalized Polynomial Approximation Method (OGPAM) was used to solve the proposed model. It was observed that during physical exercise, an increase in metabolism and blood mass flow rate improves the tissue temperature profile along the specified distance and against time . The results also demonstrate that the basal metabolic rate and tissue temperature profile both drops with time as the body carries out life-sustaining function.
