How do the heart and lungs supply enough oxygen to the body during sustained physical activity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increasing HR and RR: The body responds to physical activity by increasing Heart rate (and cardiac output) and respiratory rate. Also, muscles become more efficient using the available oxygen transported by blood.
