Довольно круто - это мой пульс!
Несмотря на то, что ваше сердце находится внутри вас, есть отличный узнать, что оно работает извне. Это твой пульс. Вы можете определить свой пульс, слегка нажав на кожу в любом месте, где под кожей проходит большая артерия. Два хороших места для его поиска - сбоку на шее и на внутренней стороне запястья, чуть ниже большого пальца.
Вы узнаете, что нашли свой пульс, когда почувствуете небольшой биение под кожей. Каждый удар вызван сокращением (сжатием) вашего сердца. Если вы хотите узнать, какой у вас пульс, возьмите часы с секундной стрелкой и посчитайте, сколько ударов вы чувствуете за 1 минуту. Когда вы отдыхаете, вы, вероятно, будете чувствовать от 70 до 100 ударов в минуту.
Когда вы много бегаете, вашему организму требуется намного больше крови, насыщенной кислородом. Ваше сердце качается быстрее, чтобы снабжать кислородом кровь, в которой нуждается ваше тело. Вы даже можете почувствовать, как сердце колотится в груди. Попробуйте бегать на месте или прыгнуть через скакалку в течение нескольких минут и снова измерить пульс - теперь, сколько ударов вы насчитаете за 1 минуту?
