Your body requires more oxygen when it's performing exercise, and as a result, you will take more breaths per minute to satisfy the increased oxygen demands. Oxygen is needed to efficiently convert glucose to ATP (your body's cellular energy source), and exercise certainly requires added energy.

Why do you breathe faster during exercise than during sleep?

Exercise places greater oxygen demands on the body, therefore signaling the respiratory center to increase the rate of respiration in order to increase the oxygen supply to the body's muscles and other tissues.


How can you show you are releasing energy during respiration?

In Anaerobic exercise


How do humans generate heat?

This is from the oxidation of food during respiration in body cell.Any increase activity,muscle action which increase respiration will increase heat production.


What happens when the oxygen requirement increases during exercise?

aerobic respiration


What are the uses of oxygenated blood?

oxygenated blood is used to supply tissues in the body with nutrients and if this supply decrease like during exercise your respiration will increase to supply oxygen to the blood in good percent


What are sources of energy during exercise?

ATP, lactic acid fermentation, and cellular respiration


Dose exercise effect respiration and why?

Yes, exercise affects respiration. During physical activity, our muscles require more oxygen to produce energy. This increased demand for oxygen leads to an increased rate and depth of breathing, allowing more oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to be expelled. Additionally, regular exercise can improve respiratory efficiency by strengthening the muscles involved in respiration and increasing lung capacity.


Why do you produce more carbon dioxide after exercise?

It's not that you produce more carbon dioxide after exercise, it's just that you need more oxygen to make up for the energy you lost DURING the exercise. When you exercise, your body undergoes both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. During anaerobic respiration, your body creates lactose, so after you exercise, the oxygen that you breathe in goes to turn the lactose ultimately into glucose.


What causes the increase of heartbeat and respiration during periods of high emotion?

Adrenal


What happens to your heart rate when you excercise?

Depending on how light or heavy exercise is will depend on the change that occurs. Typically during exercise heart rate will increase. This is in order to increase blood flow to the working muscles to allow for increased respiration - in order for the muscles to work efficiently. Therefore the more strenuous the exercise, the more your heart rate will increase. Blood pressure will also increase during exercise and again depends on intensity levels. During exercise such as running/cycling/swimming systolic pressure will increase progressively whereas diastolic pressure will increase only slightly. During weight lifting exercises, both systolic and diastolic pressures will rise. Obviously these effects will vary from person to person, depending on age, gender, exercise level, exercise intensity etc. etc.


Does blood flow to the kidneys increase during vigorous exercise?

No
