About the Lesson
In this lesson, students will study the effect of exercise on heart rate, respiratory rate, and airflow in and out of the lungs.
As a result, students will:
- Analyze graphs that represent how exercise changes vital signs of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- Relate the shape of the graph to changing levels of CO2 that occur as a result of exercise.
- Make predictions on how daily exercise affects physical fitness.
