His heart rate increases as his cellular demand for oxygen increases and the amount of carbon dioxide in his blood increases, this is due to an increase in the rate respiration because of increased ATP de...

During exercise body temperatures increase, as this can be damaging to biological processes (enzymes may be denatured) the body tries to maintain a constant body temperature in a process called homeostasi...
