Why does an increase in pulse rate and breathing rate accompany exercise?

Your Breathing rate is increased due to the fact that your muscles are working harder then when they are at rest. This means that they need oxygen, along with sugars to complete cellular respiration. Your heart rate increases so that it can move the oxygen to the target cell in the muscles you are using quicker.

∙ 13y agoThere is an increase in pulse rate and breathing rate after vigorous exercise because, when exercising, the muscles are being used and they required oxygen rich blood and the heart needs to work harder to pump this oxygen rich blood around the body. There is an increase in the breathing rate because of the demand for more oxygen, therefore the bpm increases.

Why does breathing increase when beginning exercise?
Because of the increase of pulse in your heart.
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.
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 breathing harder increase pulse rate?
because i said so haha
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 do breathing and pulse rates not return immediately after exercise stops?
The body needs to neutralise the lactic acid
How are your breathing rate and pulse rate related?
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
Similarities between breathing and your heart rate?
Your heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times your heart beats in a minute. Depending on your age and level of physical fitness, a normal resting pulse ranges from 60 to 80 beats per minute. Your breathing rate is measured in a similar manner, with an average resting rate of 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Both your pulse and breathing rate increase with exercise, maintaining a ratio of approximately 1 breath for every 4 heartbeats.
