A student pedalled an exercise cycle at constant speed for 5 minutes.
The students heart rate was recorded at one-minute intervals during the
exercise and also during recovery.










Describe the effect exercise has on the heart:





A students breathing was monitored before and after vigorous exercise.
The student breathed in and out through a special apparatus. The graphs
show the changes in the volume of air inside the apparatus. Each time the
student breathed in, the line on the graph dropped. Each time the
student breathed out, the line went up.







Describe the effect of exercise has on breathing:
