Sexual arousal of any type is designed to perpetuate the race. In effect, it is one of the primal functions nestled deep within the Human brain as well. The exact function of arousal is first to send a message to the rest of the body that there is a chance for sexual intercourse. The body will then stimulate secondary processes to facilitate this, like increasing body temperature, musky scent, making the lips swell slightly, and otherwise "signal" prospective partners of your intentions. Sexual arousal is also a tool used by the brain to get people to have intercourse. Because people like to have sex, they will, and then there is a chance for a pregnancy. If people like it, they will do it more often, increasing the chances for a pregnancy again.

Cognitive arousal refers to the mental alertness or activation of the brain in response to stimuli or situations. It involves increased attention, perception, and cognitive processing. This heightened state of mental arousal can impact cognitive functions such as memory, decision-making, and problem-solving.
Sporting arousal can be caused by a combination of physical, psychological, and environmental factors. Physiologically, increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline levels play a role. Psychologically, factors like anticipation, competition, and desire to perform well contribute to sporting arousal. Environmental cues such as crowd noise, opponent behavior, and game situation can also influence arousal levels.
Medium arousal is optimal for performance. Too much or too little arousal hampers performance.Optimal Levels: For easy tasks- at the higher end; For harder tasks- at the lower end (since too much arousal causes anxiety)
