Because you body is working at a faster rate, so the demand for oxygen is increased. So your heart has to pump faster to get more oxygenated blood to circlulate your body (more specifically the working muscles) and has to distribute the Carbon dioxide from the working muscles to the alveoli to be diffused into the blood stream and expired.

Your body needs oxygen in order to efficiently break down glucose and process it into your cell's primary energy source (ATP). As you do more intense exercise, you need more energy and therefore more oxygen. Your blood carries oxygen from the lungs to your muscles. To keep up with these increased oxygen needs, you have to have more blood going to your muscles. As a result, your heart pumps faster, sending more oxygenated blood to your muscles per second.

because it starts out kind of slow cuz its just getting warmed up. once u start exercising more and longer it will get used to beating at a faster pace and keep getting higher and higher. usually when u exercise for a long time u tend to get gradually faster. so when u get faster it also gets faster!

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.


What is the relationship between exercise and your pulse rate?

The pulse rate goes up as the strenuousness of the exercise increases.


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 breathing increase when beginning exercise?

Because of the increase of pulse in your heart.


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.

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


When you exercise for about 45 minutes your pulse slows down and goes back up several times toward the end of your session - what can caused thisl?

Pulse. Well your pulse increases when you excercise period. So the fact your pulse increaseing at the end of your 45mins exercise, it can be because it slows down when at rest, as in at the beginning of your workout, your heart rate is just starting to increase, so the fact that your already excerciseing, when your done your heart will beat fast because of it trying to slow back down if your at rest. It increases because of oxygen blood is needed.


Can yelling increase your heart rate?

Increases the rate


Why your pulse rates increased as you run?

Apperantly it increases because you are doing more things ( run ) which is exersice and this causes your heart to increase which also causes your pulse rates t increase .... Heart rates are triggered by how much exertion you are forcing upon your body, so if you exercise a whole lot and run a whole bunch, your heart rates will increase rapidly.
