Q

what changes in your body when you exersice

A

heart rate increases and arteries dilate increasing flow of oxygenated blood to muscles; breathing rate increases allowing more oxygen to enter your body; glycogen converted back to glucose to provide cells with fuel needed for cellular respiration.
