During exercise, the first graph shows the relationship between cardiac output, work, and oxygen uptake. Breaking down the following variables as work increases:
Cardiac Output: (Q= SV*HR) increases with exercise intensities and allows more blood to pass through the body to meet the demand of the muscles’ increased demand for oxygen. Once cardiac output is at its max, it is similar to VO2max and typically plateaus. Since this is a relationship between both hearth rate and stroke volume; the initial increase of cardiac output begins with the increase heart rate, which then, furthers the increase of stroke volume at higher intensities.
Heart Rate: has a directly proportional relationship with work/exercise intensity. As work increases, heart

Once a sympathetic stimulation is and/or heart rate increases, stroke volume increases with more force (Frank Starling mechanism) with intensities (depending on body positions) and typically plateaus.
Similarly, with support of the factors of the first graph, oxygen uptake is proportional to its use for oxidative energy. Therefore, increase of O2 use also increases the (a-v)O2 difference. This increase is also known from the rise of carbon dioxide and H+ in the muscles and affects the rise of (a-v)O2 difference, leading to the oxygen unloading in the muscles used in exercise.
This process helps regulate neural adaptions to balance oxygen needs with exercise demands without overusing muscles to breathe.
From breaking down these variables in response to exercise, relationships are proportional to increasing exercise intensity. At rest, heart rate is around 60-80 beats/min. Sympathetic stimulation effects fuel an anticipatory response that cause the heart rate to rise until a maximum heart rate. During max exercise, stroke volume increases in preload and contractility, but decreases in
In a similar study, researchers determined VO2 max using four different methods of treadmill running, cycle ergometer, step test and prediction2. The results found that the treadmill had the highest VO2 max followed by the ergometer, and the step test and prediction were the lowest2. This supports the findings of our experiment, showing that VO2 max will be higher2 depending the tests mode of exercise and how trained the subject is in that exercise.
It increases during physical exercise to deliver extra oxygen to the tissues and to take away excess carbon dioxide. As mentioned at rest, the heart beats around 75 beats per minute but during exercise this could exceed to 200 times per minute. The SAN controls the heart rate. The rate increases or decreases when it receives information by two autonomic nerves that link the SAN and the cardiovascular centre in the medulla of the brain. The sympathetic or accelerator nerve speeds up the heart. The synapses at the end of this nerve secretes noradrenaline. A parasympathetic or decelerator nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve slows down the heart and the synapses at the end of this nerve secretes
In this lab, we explored the theory of maximal oxygen consumption. “Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is defined as the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken up and utilized by the body during severe exercise” (Bassett and Howley, 2000). VO2max is measured in millimeters of O2 consumed per kilogram of body weight per min (ml/kg/min). It is commonly known as a good way to determine a subject’s cardio-respiratory endurance and aerobic fitness level. Two people whom are given the same aerobic task (can both be considered “fit”) however, the more fit individual can consume more oxygen to produce enough energy to sustain higher, intense work loads during exercise. The purpose of this lab experiment was performed to determine the VO2max results of a trained vs. an untrained participant to see who was more fit.
Cardiomyopathy, by definition, means the weakening of the heart muscle. The heart is operated by a striated muscle that relies on the autonomic nervous system to function. Cardiomyopathy is diagnosed in four different ways based on what caused the illness and exactly what part of the heart is weakened. The four main types of cardiomyopathy are dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. One other category of cardiomyopathy that is diagnosed is “unclassified cardiomyopathy.” Unclassified cardiomyopathy is the weakening of the heart that does not fit into the main four categories.
Cardiovascular Activity And How it Influences the body. Introduction: Cardiovascular fitness is a form of aerobic fitness (Neporent and Egan 1997). There are many different ways of evaluating the amount of oxygen used during cardiovascular fitness and one the methods involved is called VO2 Max. VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen that the body can hold.
The heart is an extraordinary structure that is the base of all human life. However, it similar to the uncomplicated functions of water pumps. As the heart beats, blood is distributed throughout the body using a network of blood vessels. The functions of the heart can be kept in regular and healthy conditions through exercise. Exercise has an effect on the blood that is circulating through the body. That circulating blood makes the heart desire more oxygen, causing the heart rate to increase rapidly to keep up with activity demand.
The main question being asked here is how exactly does exercise intensity affect heart rate and blood pressure levels. As exercise intensity relates to heart rate, we believe that as exercise intensity increases, heart rate will go up, but recover slightly during the recovery period. As exercise intensity relates to blood pressure, we would expect both systolic and diastolic numbers to go up as intensity increase, with systolic increasing more due to the body’s need of more blood.

State: The cardiac cycle is composed of five stages which each trigger the relaxation or contraction of the atria or ventricles and direction of blood flow.
•While exercising your lungs tries to increase the intake of oxygen as well as release the carbon dioxide.
These results make sense because the heart beats faster in order to keep the body’s cells well equipped with oxygen. For one to continue exercising for long amounts of time, cells need to create ATP in order to use energy. Oxygen must be present for the process of creating ATP, which not only explains why higher respiratory rates occur during exercise but also faster heart rates. When the heart is beating rapidly, it is distributes oxygenated blood as fast as the body n...
As the exercise intensifies, you need more energy and therefore more oxygen. Your blood carries oxygen from the lungs to your muscles. To keep up with these increased oxygen needs, you have to have more blood going into your muscles. As a result, your heart pumps faster, sending more oxygenated blood to your muscles per second. Aim-
AIM: - the aim of this experiment is to find out what the effects of exercise are on the heart rate. And to record these results in various formats. VARIABLES: - * Type of exercise * Duration of exercise * Intensity of exercise * Stage of respiration
Investigating the Effect of Exercise on the Heart Rate Introduction For it's size the heart has the huge capacity of pumping large amounts of blood, in the average adult's heart beats 60 to 100 times a minute, pumps between 70ml and 100ml of blood with each beat, circulates 5 to 6 litres of blood around the body per minute and about 13 litres of blood per minute during vigorous exercise. The heart will beat more then 2.5 billion times during an average lifetime. This investigation will be looking at the effect of exercise on the heart rate. Aim The aim of this investigation is to find out how exercise affects the heart rate, using research & experimenting on changes and increases in the heart rate using exercise. Research â— The heart The normal heart is a strong, hardworking pump made of muscle tissue.
