Breathing Rate and Volume
Exercise triggers changes in how you breathe to ensure your blood stays oxygenated.
What two things about your breathing change when you run?
What is Breathing Rate and Volume?
"Breathing response to exercise involves increasing both the frequency and depth of ventilation to support aerobic metabolism."
Which change happens during exercise to help supply more oxygen to muscles?
Choose the correct answer: which change happens during exercise to help supply more oxygen to muscles?

Respiratory Response
Breathing rate (breaths per minute) increases.
Breath volume (depth of each breath) increases.
This increases the rate of gas exchange in the alveoli.
This ensures that more oxygen enters the blood and more CO2 is removed.
