The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Heart Rate Introduction: Our bodies need to be in balance in order to function properly‚ and there are many ways the body maintains balance‚ or homeostasis. Homeostasis is the maintenance of nearly constant conditions in the internal environment. Our normal heart rate is an example of our body in homeostasis and any sort of change‚ or stimulus‚ can alter it. Exercise‚ adrenaline in the blood‚ and a low blood pH are all stimuli that increase the heart rate. Exercise

the “Blood Pressure and Pulse Experiment” is to determine how postural changes‚ exercise and cognitive stressors affect blood pressure and heart rate. Background The pressure of blood in the circulatory system is‚ also known as blood pressure (BP) is “the force exerted on a vessel wall by contained blood. This is expressed in millimeters per mercury (mmHg)” (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016‚ pp. 708). There are two parts to blood pressure: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. “Systolic pressure is the pressure
