Oxygen is needed as an electron acceptor in cellular respiration. Basically, when you exercise, you use more energy, and to produce this energy (adenosine triphosphate), you need, among other things, Oxygen.

How does your body adjust to breathing during exercise?

There are many benefits to breathing exercises. These types of exercises help to get more air into the lungs and to improve lung capacity. This leads to more oxygen entering the body where it is needed to keep the various functions running efficiently. The diaphragm is also strengthened by breathing exercises. Another benefit is that the lungs and chest are kept limber and flexible. All types of exercise, whether breathing exercises or aerobic exercise, strengthen the muscles of the diaphragm and chest cavity. With a more mobile lung and larger lung capacity, it is easier for people with lung diseases to breath.


Why does the heart muscle need more oxygen during exercise?

The heart uses more oxygen during exercise because it is beating harder and faster. This increased rate/contractility require more energy. The greatest amount of energy is generated under aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as a final electron receptor in the electron transport chain which it uses to generate ATP (which the cells use for energy). Bottom line - more oxygen is used because more energy is needed.
