Effects of exercise

Effects of exercise:
Muscles:
Are needed to move our body
In order for them to work they need oxygen
The more we work the more 02 and energy we need
Respiratory:
Check breathing rate (how many breaths are done in a certain amount of time)
Increase( as the body is being used more breathing will increase due to cardiovascular)
Muscles need more 02 from the blood and need to get rid of CO2 which is also being brought in
Cardiovascular:
Vessels(allow the transport of blood throughout the entire body)
Check blood pressure (determines if blood pressure is high, low or average using a blood pressure monitor wrapped tightly around the opposite side of the elbow where the veins are most visible )
Increase (blood pressure will increase when doing exercise)
Blood needs to be controlled as it travels through vessels (if blood pressure is to high when it travels through the vessels it could put to much pressure against the vessel wall and damage it)
Heart(pumps blood around the body through the vessels)
Check resting heart rate (counting how many times your heart beats/pulse beats for 10 seconds then times that number by 6)
Increase (do exercise and check heart rate again )
The blood needed to travel faster around the body so it could get the O2 to where it needed to be
More O2 needed ( more breaths are needed so that more O2 can be inhaled and taken to the right places)
