How Does Exercise Affect The Breathing Rate
RESEARCH QUESTION
What is the effect of exercise on heart rate/ breathing rate?
Justification
Pulse is an ongoing wave of pressure in the arteries, caused by pumping of heart.
Pulse can be measured on the wrist, neck, back of the knee or any other pulse point where arteries run close to the surface of the skin and compress on the bone. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you rest and increases when you exercise. More oxygen rich blood is needed by the body when exercising so knowing how to take your pulse can help you evaluate your exercise programme. The amount of exercise someone does will affect the pulse rate. For example, more exercise means more movement so more energy will be needed. In order to get more energy, respiration takes place at a faster rate. More oxygen is used so more Carbon Dioxide is produced. Carbon Dioxide is a waste product and must be removed, as it is a toxin. Because of the extra Carbon Dioxide being produced, blood is pumped faster around the body to transport it. This process will give you a faster pulse rate.

INTRODUCTION
Various exercises were used. The pulse rate was taken down before the experiment and after each of them the pulse rate was recorded down. A regular sport person and someone who does not do sport regularly. The exercises ranged from light to very intense ones. The heart rate was determined by the number of pulses per minute on the hands of the people who did the exercises
HYPOTHESIS
The intense the experiment is then the breathing rate increases rapidly and the light the exercise is, then the breathing rate will remain low. The breathing rate of the regular sports person will be different from the person who does not go for sports regularly.
