Rest, how does it affect your pulse rate?

It slows down your pulse rate.  Since you are doing less activity your body will require less active energy - in the form of ATP.  Oxygen (supplied by the blood) is necessary for aerobic respiration - the Krebs Cycle.  Aerobic respiration contributes 32-38 ATP per 1 mol of glucose, whereas anaerobic contributes 2 ATP per 1 mol of glucose.  So since your muscles aren't readily using vast amounts of ATP, you don't need to produce as much.  However, if you start to run, for example, and you feel your muscles start to burn - build up of lactic acid which blocks acetylcholine (neurotransmitter necessary for muscle contration) and changes the structure of proteins- you will notice that you will start to breathe faster.  You breathe faster in order to increase the amount of oxygen in your blood to wash out the lactic acid which will be converted into glycogen.  To sum up, using a lot of energy requires more oxygen leading to a faster pulse.  Not using a lot of energy - slower pulse.

When you lie down, Mean Arterial Pressure increases. This is because when you lie down flat, blood tends to flow easily to the heart. Therefore more blood returns to the heart. And then this causes the heart muscle fibres to stretch, causing it to contract harder (frank- starling mechanism).\n\nHowever in the upright position, due to an action of gravity, it is harder for blood to work against gravity and return to the heart. So lesser venous return, decreased contractility and lower sys di blood pressure.

It does. It gets your heart rate up and helps blood go to your "spots".

Does music affect a persons heartrate? It got me an A. U have to come up with ur hypothesis which is the question.Then to start it I got some subjects (ex friends family)i took their heartrate before i let them listen to music, they listened to music for an amount of time(forgot how long sorry)then i measured their heartrate after(if u want you can get one of those little wrist heart monitors)but i did it this way. if ya nedd more info e-mail me.

Hi, Claude - Hopefully I can clarify some of the misconceptions on here.  Under ordinary circumstances, when a person is at rest, there is very little variation in the time interval from one heartbeat to the next.  Sometimes, the heart rate can become somewhat irregular.  There are several reasons why this can happen including premature beats (which are almost always very benign), heart block (sometimes benign, sometimes more problematic), and atrial fibrillation (which can put patients at risk for strokes).  As you can see, it is impossible to say whether your irregular heart rate is dangerous without knowing which of these arrhythmias you may be having.  The way to make the diagnosis is to check an EKG or, if your symptoms come and go, have you wear a Holter monitor or event monitor to capture these episodes.  I recommend that you see your doctor about this so that he/she can tell you whether the irregular heart rate needs to be addressed.  Good luck!

the answer is that as you are tired and start to relax your breathing starts to get shallower.  the effect of this is that you are not getting enough oxygen into your bloodstream and so start to become unconscious.  from this point on, your awareness disappears as your breathing gets shallower still as you pass down through the four sleep levels.

It affects the rate at which your body burns calories.

When you stop suddenly after exercising vigorously, your leg muscles stop pumping and your heart has to pick up the extra work.\n\nTo make your heart beat faster and stronger, your body increases production of its own natural stimulants called adrenalin and noradrenaline. This can cause the heart to beat irregularly, depriving your brain of adequate oxygen, so you feel dizzy and can even pass out.

Stress is for sure. As for the heart stopping for a few seconds....How would I know, I wasn't sleeping with you!??!! LOL

its normal. when do you take your resting heart rate?If you take it during the day when you aren't doing anything odds are it will still be higher then usual. Take it before you go t obed and whe nyou wake up in the morning

Maybe not promotes but gives you a good guideline. An elevated heart rate in exercise is necessary to burn calories and fat but it can also warn you if have over exerted yourself and helps you set a pace that meets your needs. Depending on what kind of shape you are in affects your exercising heart the more out of shape the higher the heart rate.

As a RN, I can tell you the two do not depend on each other. Different states: obesity, anger, happiness, sickness, exercise may increase your BP as well as just: "Bad genes." Your BP may also change with certain meds.\nThe same for your  pulse. Continuous stress, thyroid problems, exercise may increase your pulse. A very athletic, fit person may also have a very low heart rate in the 40's due to a good cardiovascular system. Some people with heart problems may have an abnormally low pulse for them.\nYour question of how does your BP relate to pulse or heart rate is irrelevant. They both depend on many factors independent of each other. Everyone establishes their own normal baseline over a period of physician visits. Then, it must be watched over weeks, months, or years to evaluate whether either one is normal for you. That is unless, of course, it is way too high or too low when first evaluated.    Hope this helps.

You lose weight, you use your joints and muscles, tones your body. Gets your heart rate up for a work out, burns calories. Your body rests.... its over all HEALTHY!

i think you should worry about why your taking your pulse so often.  Alcohol often speeds up the heart rate so unless you are experiencing palpitations or pain you should just relax and enjoy your drink.

My best knowledge would be excitment, which gives a boost of adrenaline, causing the heart to have to pump harder due to the adrenaline rush, causing it to sometimes skip a beat.

Textbook answer is 70.\nthough 60 to 100 is classified as normal for resting.\n\nif you are fit, like the so called olympic cylcer, you resting heart rate can (very rarely) go as low as 30.\n\nyour maximun heart rate veries with age, but most people hardly reach it.\nTake 220 and subtract your age, that's your aproximate maximun heart rate\n\nhowever, if you have a heart probelm or are taking medication, your heart rate can change: eg\nbeat blockers slow your heart

ask Lance?\n\nHis resting HR is 32bpm and his max sustainable HR is almost 200bpm and VO2 is well over 80\n\nHowever, pro cyclists do nap a lot because it helps the body recover as your body produces Hgh when sleeping.
