The Human Respiratory System and the Athlete

Athletes train their body so that their lungs can take in more air in a breath.  This increases the capacity for the body to bring more oxygen to the different parts of the body (in this case, especially the muscles) between breaths. 

The respiratory system works closely together with the circulatory system.  The respiratory system brings in oxygen from the atmosphere into the body, while the circulatory system brings the oxygen to the different parts of the body.  The two systems also help bring one of the waste products of respiration–carbon dioxide–out of the body.
