Answer:

For instance during exercising your heart rate will increase due to more oxygen.

Explanation: During exercise, your body may need three or four times your normal cardiac output, because your muscles need more oxygen when you exert yourself. During exercise, your heart typically beats faster so that more blood gets out to your body.
