Response To Exercise

Question 1

What happens to your breathing rate in proportion to the intensity of exercise

Answer 1

Breathing rate will increase until you reach your max (50-60 breaths)

Question 2

What happens to breathing rate during sub maximal exercise

Answer 2

The breathing rate could plateau since the amount of oxygen needed is meeting the demand of the muscles

Question 3

What happens to tidal volume during exercise

Answer 3

Depth of breathing increases to about 3L then plateaus

Question 4

What happens to tidal volume during sub maximal exercise

Answer 4

Since it is intense exercise the performer does not have the time to breath deeply and takes too much muscular effort

Question 5

What happened to minute ventilation during the beginning of exercise

Answer 5

There is a anticipatory rise due to adrenaline

Question 6

What happens overall to the minute ventilation during exercise

Answer 6

It increases in line with the intensity

Question 7

What happens during exercise in relation to minute ventilation (VE)

Answer 7

Rapid increase of VE

Question 8

During heavy exercise does VE (Minute Ventilation) increase or plateau

Answer 8

VE does not plateau even when intensity increase as there is a growing demand for O2 and the removal of waste products
