    Yawning is just your bodies way of getting more oxygen into you, its sometime called being air hungry, your working all your muscles and and organs harder while exercising so its only natural they would need more oxygen.

    it was nothing to do with your tiredness levels and is actually used in First aid terms as one of the many signs of shock as that is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain..

    I saw a video on bodybuilder.com awhile ago and they said it was because you needed oxygen. Last week I was full out on the stair-master wide awake and yawned. I just took a nice big breath. I think it's fairly common
