Your muscles require oxygen/nutrients to move you, as you exercise/move your muscles need more and more, so your oxygen demand gets higher so you breathe more heavily and your heart beats faster to provide your body/muscles the oxygen it needs. Your heart is controlled by the smpathetic nerves and the parasmpatheitc nervs- two sets of chemicals called neropinephrine and epineprhine heart rate changes normally depending on many things including 1) some foods 2) your breathing rate For more information contact me http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_heart_works&alreadyAsked=1

How do you calculate percent heart rate change?

To calculate percent heart rate change, first determine the initial heart rate (HR_initial) and the final heart rate (HR_final). Use the formula: ((HR_{final} - HR_{initial}) / HR_{initial} \times 100). This will give you the percentage change in heart rate from the initial value to the final value. For example, if your initial heart rate is 70 bpm and your final heart rate is 80 bpm, the percent change would be ((80 - 70) / 70 \times 100 = 14.29%).
