Step-by-step explanation:

While exercising, the muscles need additional energy as the breathing rate and volume of each breath increases to bring more oxygen into the body and remove the carbon dioxide produced. The heart rate increases to supply the muscles with extra oxygen and remove the carbon dioxide produced.
