Bio Lab: The Effect of Exercise on The Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Ellie Cookson Communication: 2. As the graphs show‚ both breathing rates and pulse rates spike significantly between the resting rates and immediately after exercise. Average breathing rates went from 26.7 breaths/min at sitting rate to 46.4 breaths/min during or immediately after exercise. Pulse rates also increased quite dramatically‚ going from an average of 65 beats/min at rest rate to an average of 100.3 beats/min
