Short term effects of Exercise on the respiratory system.

Our Heart rate increases, because our body needs blood and oxygen to combine glucose with it, to create energy and use that energy.

Amount of air inhaled and exhaled increases, because to provide more oxygen to our body, because you don't want your body lacking oxygen and keeping all the carbon dioxide inside during a high intensity exercise.

Your Tidal Volume increases due to the body, because it needs to get rid of carbon dioxide and breath in oxygen. Our muscles need oxygen and blood to create energy, so they can use it during the exercise.

Your heart rate increases due to the heart having to work harder to pump oxygenated blood around the body, so the blood vessels will be under high pressure, because of the blood that the heart is pumping. Over time the blood vessels become stronger so they can cope with this high pressure.

Your breathing rate increases, in order to supply more oxygen to your working muscles, also your lungs have to work at a fast rate for them to remove carbon dioxide and supply oxygen to the heart, and the heart puts blood into that oxygen (Oxygenated blood). This process has to happen really fast, so your muscles can keep up with the activity or they'll just slow down if your heart and lungs ain't working fast enough.
