KWL Chart: Effects of exercise on the heart

What do I already know about the


effects of exercise on heart?
I know that if you do a lot of
exercise your heart rate will go
up.

I know that moderate-intense


activities will allow me to get
my heart rate up but not a lot.
I know that vigorously-intense
activities will raise my heart
rate a lot.
I know that heart rate goes up
when doing exercise because
muscles work hard and need
more oxygen.

What do I want to learn about the


effects of exercise on heart?
How does the heart help
maintain the oxygen for the
muscles?
How can I tell if I am doing
moderate-intense activities?
Based on my heart rate?
How can I tell if I am doing
vigorous-intense activities
based on my heart rate?

What have I learned about how


exercise affects the heart?
I learned that muscles need a
lot of oxygen but they can
derive some energy without it
by using anaerobic
metabolism. But most of the
energy they need comes from
aerobic metabolism.
I learned that the bloodstream
is responsible for bringing the
oxygen to your muscles. The
heart needs to pump a lot of
blood to maintain the oxygen
supply to the muscles that are
working. For the heart to do
that, it starts beating faster
and stronger which increases
heartbeat.
I learned that when doing
vigorous-intense activities
and doing them outside in the
heat will increase the heart
rate more than usual because
the heart needs to supply
blood to the skin to cool you
down and to the muscles.
I learned that I can tell if I am
doing moderate intense
activities if I can raise my
heart rate and be able to talk
while doing the exercise but
not sing.
I learned that I can tell I am
doing vigorous intense
activities if I increase my
heart rate rapidly and I would
only be able to say a few
words without stopping and
pausing for a breath. This
type of exercise will allow us
to have better blood pressure
and have the heart healthier.
