Why does your pulse rate decrease after you exercise?

admin — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:43:51 +0000

One of the questions on my homework is why did your pulse rate decrease after you rested from exercising? Any help? There’s also a question that says what does your pulse rate tell you about what your heart is doing?
Thank you PetRatLover!!! But can you please answer my second question???

During exercise, you need more oxygen throughout the body. Your heart pumps faster and carriers the O2 in the blood. When finished, your heart slows down to accommodate the decreased need for oxygen distribution.

How reliable are the hand-grip pulse sensors on exercise bikes?

Just wondering as i tried my new exercise bike today and the max i could get the pulse sensor was 116bpm over 15Min’s, when im supposed to be exercising at a rate of 160bpm.

Cheers

The best way to check its accuracy is to take your heart rate the old fashioned way…count how many times your heart beats in 10 seconds. Multiply that number by 6, and that is your heart rate. Do that right before or after you use the monitor on your bike, and compare the results.

Why does your pulse rate increase with exercise?

I need some scientific detail including stuff about Lungs, Oxygen, Blood, Heart, Glucose, Carbon Dioxide, Respiration and Muscles. Thanks Guys

When you exercise, more glucose is required to fuel this outburst of energy. As a result, glucose is broken down to produce ATP (a form of energy) while carbon dioxide is also produced as a byproduct, I think. More blood is required to be pumped to deliver the glucose throughout your body, so the blood flows faster. You need oxygen to feed the red blood cells, so you put your lungs to work by breathing or respiring more.

Muscles. Glucose can be broken down into different compounds. One of those things is lactic acid, which is produced in your muscles.

This is partially what I remembered from class. The parts I do not remember were b.s-ed. Do your research.

The author of an exercise program claimed that the resting pulse rate of his clients was lower than the?

The author of an exericise program claimed that the resting pulse rate of his clients was lower than the average of 60 beats per minute of everyone else. A sample of 40 of his clients was collected and the average pulse rate of this sample was 61 with a standard deviation of 2 beats per minute. At a 5% level of significance, is the claim supported.
Test statistic

ANSWER: Conclusion: Alternate Hypothesis H1: μ ≠ μ0 (Alternate Hypothesis) is true with at least 95% confidence. Yes; the claim is supported by the test statistics.

Why??
SINGLE SAMPLE TEST, TWO-TAILED, 6 – Step Procedure for t Distributions, "two-tailed test"

Step 1: State the hypothesis to be tested.
Null Hypothesis H0: μ = μ0
Alternate Hypothesis H1: μ ≠ μ0

Step 2: Determine a planning value for α [level of significance] =
0.05
Step 3: From the sample data determine x-bar, s and n; then compute
Standardized Test Statistic: t = ( x-bar – μ0 )/( s/ SQRT(n) )

x-bar: Est. of the Pop. Mean (statistical mean of the sample) =
61
n: number of individuals in the sample =
40
s: sample standard deviation =
2
μ0: Population Mean =
60
significant digits =
4
Standardized Test Statistic t = ( 61 – 60 )/( 2 / SQRT( 40 )) =
3.1623

Step 4: Using Students t distribution, ‘lookup’ the area outside of t = TDIST( 3.1623 , 39 , 2 ) using Excel TDIST(x, n-1 degrees_freedom, 2 tails)
using Excel TDIST(x, n-1 degrees_freedom, 2 tails)

Step 5: Area in Step 4 is equal to P value =
0.003
based on n -1 = 39 df (degrees of freedom).

Table look-up value shows area under the 39 df curve outside of t = +/- 3.1623 is (approx.)
P value = 0.003 [2 * 0.00151] by addition of both ‘tails’ of t distribution.

Step 6: For P ≥ α, fail to reject H0; and for P < α, reject H0 with 95% confidence in the conclusion.

Conclusion: Alternate Hypothesis H1: μ ≠ μ0 (Alternate Hypothesis) is true with at least 95% confidence.

Note: level of significance [α] is the maximum level of risk an experimenter is willing
to take in making a "reject H0" or "conclude H1" conclusion (i.e. it is the maximum
risk in making a Type I error).

physical condition and pulse rate after exercise and recovery time?

admin — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 11:48:18 +0000

what is the relationship between physical condition and pulse rate after exercise? And between physical condition and recoverytime? Your physical condition effects both your heart rate and recovery times. Generally the better physical condition you’re in the better recovery times. … Continue reading →

Why blood pressure goes down and pulse goes up after exercise?

admin — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 11:43:55 +0000

At 9AM, my pressure show 118/71/61. At 12:50PM,after 30 minutes exercise on a cardio machine, it show 104/64/75. Then at 3:56pm after 10 minutes on a trampolin, it show 102/57/80. Is it normal for a female 56 year old?

Yes. Vasodialation happenes when we exert ourselves. Our body makes the walls of our arteries widen so that blood flow can increase due to the increase O2 demand your muscles are needing.

Why does a higher lung capacity result in a lower breathing rate and pulse rate after exercise?

The answer to some questions is so obvious that you wonder how they ever get asked. If you use a 5 gallon bucket to move water you will need fewer buckets of water than if you use a 3 gallon … Continue reading →

why does pulse rate decrease from your normal pulse rate after exercise?

admin — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 11:22:58 +0000

after exercising, my pulse rate was higher than normal. but after a few minutes, my pulse rate becomes lower than normal. why?

this is for biology, and it was a lab. i might have done something wrong if this question makes no sense at all

well its best to take your resting heart rate in the morning cause that is when you are relaxed.
my theory is that you possibly could have walked up some stairs or something first or had caffeine which raised the heart rate higher than normal but after a while your heart rate does drop after it stops working and goes back to resting heart rate.

Does a lack of cardiovascular exercise result in a higher resting pulse rate?

admin — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 08:46:17 +0000

no it lowers

Hhhhhh im 16 female my pulse rate is 63 sec in 1min>> why is it low?? am i not doing enough exercise?

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:40:20 +0000

like is it cause by eating too much sugar or fat??

how much exercise should i do daily to get a healthy pulse rate??

sorry for my ignorance.. coz im 16 i should know …and i do biology… lol

its freaking me out!!!

63 in a 1 minute 1 minute = 60 seconds !! 0.o?

63 beats per minute is a healthy pulse rate. (the lower the healthier)
If you want to improve this, do an exercise (i.e. running) continuously for at least 20 minutes, at least 3 times per week.
