Meaning
Exercise is any movement that needs a lot of effort and increase our heart rate and breathing rate.
About Exercise
- Exercise increase the rate of [[respiration[[ in the muscles. This provides the muscles with the energy they need to move.
- Athletes have bigger lungs than average because regular aerobic exercise can increase the volume of the lungs. This allows them to take in more oxygen for respiration.
- Athletes have slower heart rates than average because regular aerobic exercise makes the heart muscles stronger so the heart doesn't need to beat as often. This allows the blood to be sent around the body more quickly providing the muscles with oxygen for respiration.
