When you are exercising, oxygen is released from your body more rapidly. Due to this, your heart rate increases to carry oxygenated blood to your muscles and organs so that they stay in working order.

Your body needs more energy, and oxygen is required to metabolize energy efficiently. Blood carries oxygen, and so your heart rate then increases to carry more oxygen to active muscles.

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


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 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.

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


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.
