Answer:

Oxygen is carried more quickly to the cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Red blood cells carry oxygen to cells throughout the body. During exercise the cells' oxygen needs increase. This stimulates the heart to beat faster to increase the speed of blood movement, thereby carrying oxygen more quickly to the cells.
