Pull ups causing heavy cardio breathing?

Did a set of 9 medium speed pull ups and my heart rate is up and breathing hard. No other exercise high or low rep induces this except sometimes squats.

Is it because the back requires more oxygen than other muscles (larger) and I have poverty cardio?

Pull ups are one of the most intense exercises for me too. They wear me down hard. I try to get them out of the way early so I have enough energy to execute good form and maximize my reps. But yeah, that’s normal IMO.
