Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens to your pulse when you exercise?
A
It increases
B
It decreases
C
It stays the same
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During exercise, your heart typically beats faster so that more blood gets out to your body. Your heart can also increase its stroke volume by pumping more forcefully or increasing the amount of blood that fills the left ventricle before it pumps.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you are exercising, your muscles need extra oxygen-some three times as much as resting muscles. This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse. Meanwhile, your lungs are also taking in more air, hence the harder breathing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscles use oxygen to create the fuel needed for the work involved in exercise. Your muscles need more fuel when you exercise, and that’s why your heart rate, or pulse, increases. After exercise, your heart rate returns to its normal or resting rate fairly quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Additional benefits of exercise: Improves the muscles’ ability to pull oxygen out of the blood, reducing the need for the heart to pump more blood to the muscles. Reduces stress hormones that can put an extra burden on the heart. Works like a beta blocker to slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure.
