Your muscles use up sodium, potassium, glucose, carbohydrates, oxygen, water, and small percentages of other minerals, and nutrients. The contraction of muscles depends heavily on the conduction of electrical impulses from the brain, and while the nerve endings and muscles aren't actually "touching", the signals depend very much so on the transference through fluids saturated by the sodium, and potassium, while the fuel for the muscle cells is provided in the form of glucose, carbohydrates, and oxygen. Being that everything except for the oxygen can be provided from good nutrition, a good respiratory system would be an essential asset to muscular contraction.

Basically all comes down to your metabolism. Metabolism is an energy creating process inside the cell. It needs to have oxygen to drive it. Good respiration will help provide your cells with enough oxygen for your metabolism, good nutrition is also essential to provide the other properties of metab (long story and not really the point here). Metabolism provides the energy that drives the extra-cellular matrix (frame work) that links cells of a certain tissue, like muscle, and this helps cause contraction.

If however you didn't eat enough or oxygenate your blood well enough then your cells would not have the sufficient ingredients to carry out aerobic metabolism and would switch to anaerobic metabolism, which gives you energy as well, but only for a short while, and causes lactic acid to build up. This is what gives you a stitch when you've been running too hard (not enough respiration when you push yourself past a certain point).

nutrition provides the energy for the muscles to contract, and in the long run, it is what makes up the muscle. The better the nutrients the better the structure of the muscle. respiration is the rate at which your body can intake oxygen and oxygen is required for many of the chemical processes that occur in the cells of your body. so if deprived of oxygen, the cell cannot produce the energy to move the leg. also related to the blood circulatory system.

because the muscles(like every other part of the body) need oxygen to function properly which is transported better when u keep ur body healthier
