Exercise Flashcards
What are the effects of exercise on breathing rates?
When exercising, cells will need more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide as a result of increased respiration (energy is made during respiration)
Why does breathing rates change with and after exercise
This is because your body uses more oxygen and produces more carbon dioxide
Example of an experiment to investigate the effect of exercise on breathing rate?
First of all, to measure the breathing rate of a person before they do the exercise. For that person to do 2 minutes of exercise, and immediately after record their breathing rate again. Finally to measure their breathing rate after a couple minutes of rest.
Subject: 1 person/ different people
Independent variable: levels of exercise
Dependent variable: breathing rate
