In order to operate our muscles, we need a substance called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This provides the energy that our muscles need to contract and give us movement. In order to create ATP, our body needs a substantial amount of oxygen supplied via our blood to the cells. When we exercise, our muscles become overactive and require more and more ATP to function. As a result, our muscles need more oxygen, so we must breathe more (and usually faster) to supply them.
