Breathing rate during aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise

Learning Outcomes

To understand that during exercise the body uses more oxygen and produces more carbon dioxide due to muscles  working harder.

Description Of Activity

The increased  breathing  during exercise allows the delivery  of oxygen needed. 

To cope with this extra demand the body responds by breathing  deeper..

When doing aerobic exercise your heart's thumping and you are breathing  faster than you do at rest but you can sustain  the activity for extended period of time.

Anaerobic exercise on the other hand is high intensity short duration exercise. 

Coaching Tips

Breathing rate increases from about 15 times a minute to 25.
