== 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.
