A study was carried out to investigate the effects of exercise on the body. Exercise causes many homeostatic factors to kick in‚ in an effort to maintain internal homeostasis. How exercise affects some of these homeostatic factors can be determined by measuring‚ observing and monitoring certain parameters. For the purpose of this study‚ the factors in which I had to look at included temperature‚ pulse rate and breathing (respiration) rate. In doing the experiment‚ I will be able to see firsthand
