Why is exercise so importance?

Exercise improves the flexibility and strength of the muscles, and prevents excessive strain on the bones, tendons, and spine. Aerobic exercise improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system and the efficiency of the lungs. Exercise reduces the deposition of fat in the tissues, and can lower the level of fat in the blood (one factor in hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis). Exercise also improves mood through the release of endorphins and hormones.

What kind of blood vessels are helped by contraction of skeletal muscles?

Both veins and arteries. The contracting muscles on all sides of the vessels squeeze the blood along in the dire tion it is travelling, either away from (arteries) or back to (veins) the heart. This helps the heart so that it doesn't have to do all the hard work itself. In other words exercise is good for your heart. Medicine calls it the skeletal muscle pump.
