Oxygen (that we breathe) eventually ends up in the bloodstream, and travels around the body via the red blood cells. When we are relaxed, your heart is not under much pressure in terms of transporting oxygen. However, when you exercise or hold your breathe, oxygen levels will decrease and your heart will speed up to try and keep whatever oxygen that's in the blood flowing. In other words your heart will speed up to compensate (make up for) the reduction in oxygen levels.
