In my lesson before the Easter holidays we learnt about the cardiovascular and respiratory system. The cardiovascular system is all about the heart, veins and arteries and the respiratory system is all about the lungs and breathing. We done a frisbee excersice with the Post 16's to get our heart rate going. We also done a skipping excersice and a warm up at the beggining which associated jogging.
Afterwards we checked our breathing rates before and after. My breathing rate before was 30 breaths per minute and after excerise it was 36 breaths per minute.
My pulse beat was 108 beats per minute before and 180 beats per minute after excerise.
(The reason your blood pumps faster after excercise is because your moving much faster so your body has to keep up with the pace of your blood being pumped through your heart, around your body and back to your heart again. And the reason you breath more after excercise is because your body takes in more oxygen and puts it in to your muscles so your body also has to keep up with that.)
