to check your pulse and determine your heart rate during aerobic exercise, it is best to place your index and middle fingers on arteries located
a) over the heart or inside the elbow.
b) inside the wrist or behind the knee.
c) on the side of neck or inside the wrist.
d) on the temple or side of the neck.
When checking the pulse during aerobic exercise, the common and accessible arteries are the carotid artery (on the side of the neck) and the radial artery (inside the wrist). The carotid artery is large and close to the surface, and the radial artery is also easily palpable. Options A (over the heart - not an artery for easy pulse check during exercise, inside elbow - less common during exercise), B (behind the knee - less accessible during exercise), and D (temple - less common compared to neck and wrist) are not as ideal as option C.
