The Effect of Exercise on Breathing, Blood Pressure, and Heart RateIntroductionThe function of the human respiratory system is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body. The function of the human circulatory system is to transport blood from the heart to the various tissues of the body. The components of the human circulatory system include the heart, blood, and blood vessels (MJ Farabee 2007). Blood pressure is usually written as Systolic/Diastolic. A normal range of blood pressure for an adult for systolic is less than 120 and for diastolic is less than 80. If blood pressure is too high (hypertension) or too low (hypotension), it can cause medical problems for the individual (American Heart Association 2013). ). The relationship between the human respiratory system and the human circulatory system is the blood which carries oxygen from the lungs through the blood vessels to deliver it to the different tissues of the body. The proposition of this experiment is to know how the respiratory system and the circulatory system can be influenced by physical activities and to know the relationship between the two systems in different conditions.
