Why does an athlete breathe faster and deeper than usual after finishing the race?
An athlete breathe faster and deeper than usual after finishing the race because he needs extra energy to his muscles which worked hard during running. For this reason, he breathes faster and deeper so that he can supply more oxygen to the cells. During running, the oxygen level of the athlete becomes less. To complete the oxygen level, he breathes faster than usual. He respires anaerobically at that time.
