How do you work out heart rate?

You check your pulse.


What is the advantage and disadvantage of increased pulse rate?

If you have an increased pulse rate it means that you are exercising you heart more often meaning that you have a chance of living longer because your heart is stronger but if you over work your heart then you will risk heart failure (if you have a weak heart)!


What happens to heart rate when there is high intensity?

With regards to the pulse rate, on average, a heart at rest beats 60 to 100 times per minute. Anything over 100 is considered high. A high pulse rate (tachycardia) accompanied with low blood pressure symptoms is a dangerous condition. Most often, the reason for low blood pressure, high pulse is due to a problem between the heart and brain. A high pulse rate means a high heart rate. This means the heart works excessively. Most of the time, exercising and doing strenuous work or consuming coffee, chocolates, a heavy meal or certain medications can elevate the pulse level. Stress and anxiety too can cause a high pulse rate. However, this reduces after a certain time and the heart begins to beat normally after cooling down. A heart that beats excessively and continuously is a heart that is at risk of malfunctioning, and causing a heart attack. Therefore, a continuous high pulse must be medically examined with immediate effect.


How does excercise affect your Pulse rate?

Fitness affects the pulse and breathing rate because the more your muscles are used the more they are used to the physical activity you are asking of them to do. Exercising puts a lot of pressure on your muscles and heart, if you are unfit it can make your heart work over time, increasing your heart and breathing rate.


Why does your pulse rate change when you do excersice?

When you excercise your body is doing extra work, the heart has to pump more blood to the body tissues so it causes increase in the pulse tate


What happence to your pulse rate when you exercise?

when you exercise, your heart rate increases. the more explosive and intense the exercise, the higher the rate will go. As with any muscle in the body, exercise makes it stronger. a stronger heart allows for more blood and oxygen to circulate with each pump resulting in your heart rate lowering not only during exercise but in daily life. a lower heart rate means your heart does not have to work as hard and thats a good thing !!!


Why is your pulse different lying down than when you are standing?

When you are lying down your pulse rate is much slower because your body is not having to work as hard to pump blood around your body. When you are standing your heart has to work much harder to got blood all around the body and it has to work against gravity to get blood to your head which makes your pulse rate much faster. This is also the case for when you are sitting down.


How does the new atificial heart work with no pulse?

Will exercise have an effect on your pulse rate?

== exercise effect the pulse because if you walk it doesnt effect it but if you run it does effect it because the heart is pumping faster so the blood is moving faster = Actually, pulse rate can change with walking, too, just not as much. Pulse rate is lowest when the body is resting, and increases as the level of muscle activity increases, since increases in activity make higher demands for oxygen for the muscles to work. The pulse rate quickens in response to the body's need for more oxygen (and for more disposal of the carbon dioxide formed in the muscles and other tissues from combining oxygen and the carbons in glucose or fat as they are burned for fuel, thus providing energy for the muscles to use to contract). SImply standing up is more exercise than resting, and although we don't usually think of simply standing up as exercise, the pulse rate will increase slightly. Further increases in exercise level, such as walking, will increase the pulse rate further, even though we might not sense the increase in pulse rate until periods of heavier exercise such as running.


What is heart rate controlled by?

The heart rate depends on the circulatory system to circulate the blood through the vains and blood vessels. It also depends on the respitory system to breath in oxygen from the lungs, to help the heart pump more blood and give the body a good heart rate pulse... LOL:))


How you find heart rate?

You can check the heart rate of someone by finding any vein, pressing your fingers against it and counting the number of pulses in a minute. Or you can feel a persons heart or listen to it. The easiest places to check the pulse are in the jugular vein in the neck or on the wrist.


What normal heart rate for a 50 yr old woman during exercising?

The average resting pulse rate for adults is anywhere between 60 - 100 beats per minute. However, if you exercise regularly enough, your resting pulse rate could very well be lower than 60. This is nothing to worry about. It simply means your heart doesn't have to work as hard to push blood to the rest of your body.
