Exercise produces significant increases in the body's demand for energy compared to its resting state. While at rest, the autonomic nervous system tends to favor a parasympathetic tone, which reduces the respiratory and heart rate. The sympathetic nervous system is activated during exercise, resulting in an integrated response that helps maintain an appropriate level of homeostasis to meet the increased demand in cellular metabolism.
