The table shows measurements before and during exercise.
Table
| Condition | Heart rate in beats per minute | Stroke volume in cm3\mathrm{cm^3}cm3 per beat |
|---|---|---|
| Before exercise | 60 | 80 |
| During exercise | 120 | 100 |
Use the equation:
cardiac output=stroke volume×heart rate \text{cardiac output}=\text{stroke volume}\times\text{heart rate} cardiac output=stroke volume×heart rateWhat is the percentage increase in cardiac output?
