Parts of your body, especially your muscles, require much more oxygen during exercise, which reaches them via your blood traveling through blood vessels. This means two things: your heart must beat faster to provide the oxygen more rapidly; and you must breathe faster and harder so that your lungs can oxygenate the blood.
