    skeletal muscle instead. When we are exercising there is more blood in our arterial circulation. Where did this blood come from and how did it get there ? When the cells within the body are more metabolically active‚ they use more fuel‚ such as glucose and oxygen. Therefore during exercise‚ specifically in parts like the skeletal muscles‚ the blood flow through the tissues is dramatically increased during contraction‚ resulting in blood flow up to 15 to 20 times greater then resting muscles. This

    Skeletal muscle fibres can change from high activity‚ in which a high amount of ATP is used to a low level of activity‚ with only a small amount being used. The ATP in the muscle fibres is enough to allow muscle contractions for a few seconds. When muscle contraction continues more ATP is needed. Aerobic glycolysis Oxidation of glucose requires a different enzyme and a coenzyme for each step. Coenzyme A is used at this stage in cellular respiration‚ which is derived from from a B vitamin called

    consumption of oxygen and nutrients by muscle cells requires more blood supply. The functions of blood include delivering oxygen‚ removing CO2‚ removing heat and delivering nutrients and water. Therefore‚ blood flow is important in cellular respiration‚ which is the process where ATP is produced through the conversion of metabolites‚ also involving the consumption of oxygen and release of CO2 as a waste product. ATP is vital to skeletal muscle contraction‚ since the power stroke is facilitated by

    vascular fitness is increasing as my body can pump a larger volume of blood (oxygen) per contraction or vice versa. If my heart after exercise is consistent but my PEP sessions are getting more difficult it will also tell me that my cardio vascular fitness level is increasing as my heart can provide my muscles with more oxygenated blood‚ as it is a more difficult session‚ with the same amount of heart contractions I can also use my after exercise heart rate to gauge the intensity of each session

    Introduction Aim: Finding out how exercise affects the heart rate and breathing rate. Hypothesis: Exercise exists in different forms and has many benefits; it improves the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood‚ development of bones‚ strengthens muscles and the lungs capacity plus it can make you feel good. There are different exercises and intensities for different benefits. Lower intensity exercises are not designed to work the body as hard. As a result less oxygen is needed and less waste is in
