Breathing Increasing During Efforts
The production of energy of our bodies is possible thanks to the respiration one of the produces of this reaction is a release of carbon dioxide.
When one makes some type of physical effort, our pulse increases and in turn, our respiration increases, so our blood will begin to consume more oxygen and eliminate more carbon dioxide.
Our pH (7 on the acidity scale) will be affected during this process, since during the effort the concentration of CO2 will increase and this will cause our blood to reduce its pH level, making it more acidic. What our body will do to avoid blood acidization is to increase the pulse and respiration to eliminate carbon dioxide from our bloodstream, achieving that certain substances in the blood plasma react to it, helping in its elimination.

One of the mechanism to control blood involve the release of Carbon dioxide (CO2), which is mildly acidic. The CO2 is a waste from the respiration and is always produced by every living cells and transferred into blood. As our effort increase our production of CO2 increase, to avoid an acidity too high, our thorax gets bigger to allow more air to go in and out of our lungs. That's why our breathing increase as the efforts gets harder
