What happens to your breathing rate and heart rate when you exercise?

Answer 1

i think the heart pumps very fast so the blood travels everywhere faster hence the breathing goes faster because your lungs are expanding and contracting.

Answer 2

Both your breathing rate and heart rate increase due to an increased demand for oxygen in the muscles for respiration to take place. carbon dioxide and lactic acid are released during anaerobic and aerobic respiration which are both acidic. These therefore lowers the pH of the blood which is detected and hormones are released to increase both your breathing and heart rate to try and supply muscles with as much oxygen as they can for aerobic respiration and to break down lactates.

Answer 3

It quickens. Your body needs oxygen for your cells to produce energy (through the process of Respiration). When exercising, you need more energy to carry out your higher level of activity, so more oxygen is needed. This means that you take quicker, deeper breaths to give you a greater supply of oxygen.

Answer 4

Your breathing rate will become quicker as your body needs more oxygen to supply the muscles which are working harder and need more oxygen to function. Lack of oxygen produces lactic acid, which is what makes your muscles sore.

Answer 5

it wouild be harder to breath and and youre pulse rate would go up.

Answer 6

When you exercise your heart rate should increase and so should your breathing rate. so that your muscles can get blood and oxygen for more energy.

Hope this helped!

Answer 7

They increase.
