When you exercise your body / muscles are doing extra work. They therefore require more oxygen for the cells. The body compensates this by increasing the cardiac output so that your heart pumps more blood and the breathing rate increases to supply more oxygen to the circulating blood. This is the cause of heavy breathing when running or exercising.

The body is in need of oxygen and breathing fuels an aerobic reaction, creating energy to exercise.When you cant get enough oxygen your body makes energy with an anaerobic reaction witch produces latcic acid, giving you a cramp

An increase in breathing rate accompanies exercise, because your body is trying to get oxygen into your body fast enough so your muscles can work.

Because your heart is pumping faster. This is not only related to exercise. Any time no matter what you are doing, if your heart goes faster so will your breathing.

because their body isn't used to be being as tired, so their heart beats really fast and it causes you to breath more.

How might your muscular system help keep you warm?

It keeps you warm from the constant moving of the body. Because your body is always moving, your heart pumps out blood and the blood is always warm. Your heart is also a muscle so it pumps the warm blood to the muscles because they are constantly working and when you excercise or your muscles get tired because of the buildup of lactic acid in your muscles. That is why you breathe heavily when you excercise, to keep the blood and oxygen flowing enough for your muscles.
