The reason my heart beat changed is because when you exert your muscles they need extra oxygen so your heart beat increases to pump the requires oxygen amount to the muscles. So by running up and down stairs (or running on the spot as I have no stairs) you require more oxygen for your muscles. When you stop working your muscles they don't need the extra oxygen so your heart stops pumping the blood so fast around the body which then slows down your pulse to what it was to start with.

Yes, the increase in cardio resprotory speeds up the heart rate and pulse.


When you exercise your pulse rate goes?

your pulse rate increases so your breathing rates can increase which allows you to take in more oxygen to transfer to your blood.


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.


Why does your pulse increase during exercise?

your heart beats faster in order to pump oxygenated bloodcells to all of your organs.


What happens to a person's pulse rate if their heart muscle becomes stronger does the pulse become quicker?

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.)


When would your pulse rate be faster?

Adrenaline rushes, stress, exercise, twitching, panic attacks and such are causes of your pulse being high. Your pulse can also increase when you look at someone you love or like, epilepsi etc. etc.


Why does muscles working hard during exercise increase your pulse rate?

Your heart rate will increase when you exercise for a prolonged period or when you increase your effort. An increase in intensity might occur if you are riding your bike and you encounter a hill or a stiff headwind. Your heart rate will increase as you put more effort into maintaining your speed.


Why does pulse rate increase during aerobic exercise?

Your heart has to beat faster to circulate your blood which carries oxygen to cells. During exercise your cells need more oxygen (the ones being used at least) so your heart must provide them with more oxygen, hence the faster heart rate.


Why does your pulse increase as your ACTIVITY increases?

When your exercising you heartbeat quickens and makes your blood go through you faster making your pulse speed up. When your not exercising your heart isn't working as fast and therefore doesnt have to pump your blood so fast
