The cardiopulmonary system is made up of the heart and the lungs which are both located in the thoracic cavity of the body . The two organs are central to the circulatory and the respiratory systems respectively Exercise entails exertion of the body to achieve a physical benefit . The cardiovascular system performs several vital functions in the body during exercise . It delivers oxygen to the muscles , transports the heat generated from the core to the skin , transports glucose

and essential nutrients to the active tissues , pumps the deoxygenated blood back to the lungs for oxygenation and also transports hormones such as adrenaline . During exercise drastic changes occur in the body which places a high demand for the cardiovascular system to step its functional rate . For instance , the more waste products created during exercise require to be removed , more energy supply is required and the excess heat produced removed . The cardiopulmonary system must therefore regulate all these processes to ensure physiological sanity in the body

For the body to regain strength for more exercise , a period of rest is required during which the cardiopulmonary system and the muscles undergo recovery . Therefore , for the cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular systems to recover , a period of reduced exercise must accompany the exercise During this period , several changes occur driven by essential parameters . The central organ in these systems is the heart which do not benefit from a recovery program that removes any stress on it...
