Hypothesis:

-As the result shows therefore I conclude that a physical activity has a direct relationship with
heart and breathing rate. The greater the heart and respiratory rate, the more strenuous the
physical exercise, and vice versa.

1. When do you breathe faster? When is the heartbeat faster? Why?

-When we engage in physical activities, we utilize more oxygen, which causes the heart to
beat quicker in order to transport more oxygen to the body. As we engage in these activities,
our lungs hold more air, allowing us to breathe more quickly.

2. Other than strenuous activity or vigorous exercise, what other factors influence the rate?

Why?

- Age, body size, and health state are other characteristics that impact rate since they are
varied for each person and have different consequences. For instance, in comparison to
elderly people, younger people have a greater heart rate. And also younger people have
more energy compare to older people because we can assume that they are more active in
sport etc.

3. How do you think breathing rate is related to heart rate? Why is there a correlation?

-The more your heart beats, the more you breathe. The heart consumes more energy and
distributes more oxygen to the body as it beats quicker. When a person exercises, oxygen is
consumed quickly to give the muscles with the energy they require to move. As a result, the
heart beats quicker in order to provide more oxygen to the muscles.
