, Respiratory System and
exercise

LO: To understand the immediate
and long term effects of exercise
on the
respiratory system.

Outcomes:
1. To retain the information given from the
PowerPoint
2. To Answer questions in the workbook

, Increasing breathing rate:
The muscles demand more oxygen and
an increase in carbon dioxide levels
stimulate deeper and faster breathing
When an individual has finished
exercising the breathing rate will rapidly
drop.

Increased tidal volume:
When we exercise, tidal volume
increases to allow more air to pass
to the lungs. This happens in both
aerobic and anaerobic exercise.

Oxygen depth:
This is the temporary shortage in the
body tissues after anaerobic exercise.
