Additional body mass generally means higher oxygen requirement, but upper body mass can restrict the expansion of the lungs, decreasing the volume of air that enters with each breath. So since more oxygen is needed, and less oxygen is inhaled, breathing rate generally increases.
The higher your elevation, the less oxygen you have (e.g climbing a mountain). This does not mean you lung capacity is less, it just means you need to breathe more to get sufficient oxygen
The size of the lungs is based on body size, and to a lesser extent on ethnicity.
this is just a thought, but maybe heavier people breath faster and harder because their lungs are compressed more (fat build up).
it affects the heart rate because it will take longer time to circulate blood around the body.

How does size affect the breathing rate of tropical fish?
The smaller the size of a tropical fish the faster their breathing rate will be. The smallest fish will have the fastest breathing rates.
How are your breathing rate and pulse rate related?
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
How does the pituitary gland affect the breathing?
The pituitary gland does not directly affect breathing. Its main function is to produce and release hormones that regulate various body functions, such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Breathing is primarily controlled by the respiratory center in the brainstem, which responds to signals from the body to adjust the breathing rate and depth.
How do people die doing drugs?
Some drugs affect heart rate or breathing and this cause deaths.
Does temperature affect breathing of chick peas?
You probably mean "respiration" instead of "breathing". Chick peas don't breath. Increasing the temperature increases the respiration rate and decreasing temperatures decrease the respiration rate.
