Exertion on the body causes the need for blood to be circulated at a faster rate - thus the heart rate increases to make this happen. This can be a good thing.
Before exercise your heart rate might increase in anticipation of the exercise.

What happens to your heart rate when you excercise?

Depending on how light or heavy exercise is will depend on the change that occurs. Typically during exercise heart rate will increase. This is in order to increase blood flow to the working muscles to allow for increased respiration - in order for the muscles to work efficiently. Therefore the more strenuous the exercise, the more your heart rate will increase. Blood pressure will also increase during exercise and again depends on intensity levels. During exercise such as running/cycling/swimming systolic pressure will increase progressively whereas diastolic pressure will increase only slightly. During weight lifting exercises, both systolic and diastolic pressures will rise. Obviously these effects will vary from person to person, depending on age, gender, exercise level, exercise intensity etc. etc.


Why does the heart rate increase before exercise?

Anticipation. Hormones (adrenalin and noradrenalin) are released pre-exercise. These accelerate heart rate and aid in preparing the body for exercise.


What is the organ that enables heart beat faster when you exercise?

The nervous system causes the heart to beat faster when you exercise. It itself is not an organ but a system.


Does a sedentary lifestyle increase your risk for heart disease?

Exercise is important to reduce blood cholesterol levels. High cholesterol can increase plaque and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke and high blood pressure. Exercise can help reduce weight. Obesity destroys arteries, causes strokes and heart attacks, and destroys the kidneys. Exercise keeps the heart and lungs in good condition. Exercise reduces the resting blood pressure and resting heart rate, both important in reducing overall stress on the circulatory system. So why am I sitting here answering these questions when I should be active right now?

Can you exercise your heart like the other muscles in your body?

Absolutely. When you get your heart racing during (typically aerobic) exercise, you increase its ability to pump blood.

Why does muscles working hard during exercise increase your pulse rate?

Your heart rate will increase when you exercise for a prolonged period or when you increase your effort. An increase in intensity might occur if you are riding your bike and you encounter a hill or a stiff headwind. Your heart rate will increase as you put more effort into maintaining your speed.


Does blood pressure increase during exercise?

Yes, blood pressure typically increases during exercise as the heart pumps more blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.


What is the relationship between heart rate and blood pressure during exercise?

During exercise, heart rate and blood pressure typically increase. This is because the heart needs to pump more blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. The increase in heart rate helps to increase blood flow, which in turn raises blood pressure. This relationship is a normal response to the body's increased demand for oxygen and energy during physical activity.


How does exercise increase blood oxygenation?

During aerobics exercise, lungs take in air and transfer oxygen to the blood, which is then pumped by the heart to the muscles that need it.


Why does your pulse increase during exercise?

your heart beats faster in order to pump oxygenated bloodcells to all of your organs.
