Respiratory adaptation is the specific changes that the respiratory systemundergoes in response to the demands of physical exertion. Intense physical exertion, such as that involved in fitness training, places elevated demands on the respiratory system. Over time, this results in respiratory changes as the system adapts to these requirements.[1] These changes ultimately result in an increased exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is accompanied by an increase in metabolism.[2] Respiratory adaptation is a physiological determinant of peak endurance performance, and in elite athletes, the pulmonary system is often a limiting factor to exercise under certain conditions.[3]

abhishek8710: Will you please explain it in two or three lines?
kingfishertbmdealers: The alveoli are adapted to make gas exchange in lungs happen easily and efficiently. ... they give the lungs a really big surface area. they have moist, thin walls (just one cell thick) they have a lot of tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
