Exercise causes an increase in carbon dioxide in the blood. The raise in carbon dioxide alerts the respiratory center in the brain, which then causes the lungs to breathe harder/faster in order to keep a good balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occur in the alveoli in the lungs by the process of diffusion. Since the heart and lungs function together, the heart must pump blood faster to keep up with the needs of the lungs. The blood must be oxidized faster, so the heart makes the blood flow faster throughout the body so the lungs can put oxygen in the blood and the carbon dioxide can be expelled.

What is the relationship between exercise and your pulse rate?
The pulse rate goes up as the strenuousness of the exercise increases.
Why does your pulse go up when you exercise?
because your heart rate increases and forces more blood around your body.
Does exercise change the pulse?
Yes, the increase in cardio resprotory speeds up the heart rate and pulse.
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 go up after exercise?
Because your heart beats faster when you exercise.
Why do your pulse and breathing go up when you exercise?
Your breathing rate increases to get more oxygen into your bloodstream, and your pulse quickens to allow the blood to get to muscles faster to deliver the oxygen. =) Alex, 17.
How does pulse change?
It goes up and down, as you become active or inactive, excited or calmed.
Does pulse rate go up if nervous?
Yes
Does being scared affect your pulse rate?
it makes it go up....
Why does the pulse rate vary?
coz your body needs more blood when doing exercise coz it using it up probably
Why does exercise have an effect on pulse rate?
The amount of exercise you do your pulse rate gets higher this is because your heart goes faster and more sweat come out and it also depends on how fast you do your exercise then your heart will then go faster and faster and you have beat in your pulse so therefore that is how your pulse goes faster.
Why does exercise have an effect on pulse rate and breathing?
Because the demand for oxygen and glucose increases, and the heart and lungs need to speed up to keep up with the demand.
