Breathing rate is the number of breaths or the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration, per unit of time, the most common unit of time is per one minute. In this experiment and investigation I can determine that the breathing rate increases as exercise is done. This is because the muscles in the body require more energy, which is achieved by reacting oxygen with glucose, and thus oxygen volume amount would have to be increased, which is achieved by taking in or inspiring more often. This can be shown by looking at the result above. The value for breathing rate was initially 15 breaths per minute, and this increased by 25, to 40 breaths per minute after the exercise was completed.

This is the normal volume of air inhaled or inspired in normal breathing. This would increase after exercise due to the need in inhaling large volumes of air, as more oxygen is required in order to replenish the oxygen lost during respiration. The deep air intake would lead to more volume of air within the lungs. Thus increasing the capacity of air in the lungs. As a result of this tidal volume would increase after exercise leading to high values. This is shown in the data collected the resting tidal value was 0.5 L, and increased to 0.6 L which indicates higher capacity of normal intake of air. However it only increased by 0.1L and would go back down to the original vale once longer rest is taken, no additional oxygen is required for the lactic acid removal, which is achieved by more …show more content…
In addition the process of respiration would increase as the demand for energy is high due to the exercise. So with high demand for energy and high amount of oxygenated blood being supplied the process of respiration would also increase.
The result gathered in the investigation supports my hypothesis that, Tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, vital capacity and breathing rate would increase in value due to exercise. As the muscle in the body require more oxygen for the process of aerobic respiration, where oxygen and glucose is required to make energy for the muscle to use during the exercise. This demand would increase as the intensity or the duration of the exercise increases, as the muscle would be working much harder to give and meet the energy requirements for the
