PCJH PE students participated in a simulation last week to feel the effects smoking cigarettes or vaping could have. First students determined their resting heart rate. We did a short workout of walking for 1 minute, jumping jacks for 1 minute, sit ups for 1 minute, and jogging in place for 30 seconds. Students were to find their heart rate again and document the change and notice how they felt. They later did the same workout but had to do their breathing through a straw. They again found their heart rate and identified how they felt this time. Some responses were shortness of breath, dry mouth, dizziness, and nauseous.
