The heart is aerobic, and takes up a large amount of oxygen from the passing blood supply. Under anaerobic conditions, such as a blockage of one of the coronary arteries, the heart muscle which loses it's blood supply dies. This is a heart attack.

It's a good question! The genius who asked this question knows the answer better. Due to aerobic exercise the cardiac out put increases. It increases five fold than normal. That means from five liters per minutes to twenty five liters per minute. Cardiac muscles becomes strong. Stroke volume increases. As a result the resting heart rate decreases. The resting heart rate of the athlete is usually only sixty beats per minutes, as against seventy two per minute in most of the people. In extreme cases much lower resting pulse rates are recorded.
