Best Answer

regular aerobic exercise strengthens heart muscles which increases stroke volume (the volume of blood ejected with each contraction). since cardiac output = stroke volume * heart rate, this ultimately increases cardiac output.

What is cardiac-output?

Cardiac output is the volume of blood the heart pumps within one minute. Cardiac output (CO) is equal to the stroke volume (SV) of the heart multiplied by the heart rate (HR). Thus, cardiac output is given by the equation: CO=HR X SV.


Does exercise Change in cardiac output or in peripheral resistance?

Both, peripheral resistance decreases and cardiac output increases.


What does cardiac output do if the heart rate decreases?

Cardiac output = heart rate X stroke volume Thus, if the heart rate decreases so will the cardiac output, assuming the stroke volume is constant.
