Just as when you exercise you breathe faster, when you sleep your breathing slows.
Your body will adjust it's rate of breathing to accomodate it's needs at the time, when you are sleeping less oxygen is needed since you are inactive.
because metabolic activity decreases at rest.
The respiratory rate decreases to 16 times in a minute when in rest
yes
12
it decreases
163 per mintue
an average of 30 (per min)
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
You dead.
It will increase.
It increases.
Resting heart rate goes down (maximum stays the same).
it decreases
Resting heart rate goes down (maximum stays the same).
Respiratory rate, which is also called breathing rate, is the same for teens as adults. There should be between 12 and 16 breaths per minute. However, as a child enters later teens his/her resting breathing rate should decrease slightly from what it was in his/her early teens.
No. The resting pulse becomes slower. (Note, the top pulse rate for everybody is about the same ... the "exercise tolerance" comes from how much you can increase from your resting rate.)
