The human body composes a lot of activities and mechanisms inside. One of
these is homeostasis which is the process by which an organism maintains the
composition of the extracellular fluid (ECF) and the intracellular fluid (ICF) in a steady
state condition (Wang, 2001). In homeostasis, the internal body conditions operate
within a small range while the external conditions change drastically (Mader, 2005). A
lot of the daily human activities contribute to the balance of the body conditions. The
best example of these activities is performing an exercise. Rigorous physical drills
like squats, push-ups, strength building, cardiovascular workouts, and other
endurance training contribute to fluctuations in body temperature, water balance, and
cardiac activities in the system. During such strenuous exercises, there’s a
noticeable change in breathing, heart rate, and pulse rate—all of which are
increasing in rate. These changes are the natural reaction of cardiovascular system
when it comes to exercise (Harmon, 2011).
