Sorry to break it to you but the process is a tad more complicated.
Air at sea level contains approximately a 21% concentration of oxygen, a partial pressure of which begins to decrease the moment you get that big breath down in your lungs and the red blood cells go racing by disgorging themselves of of CO2 and taking O2, so now that lung full of air contains less oxygen than a millisecond before and a bunch of carbon dioxide that your blood does not want. So the faster to exchange that lung full of "old" air for "new", the more oxygen the more oxygen gets to the blood and muscles.
Granted the faster you move a fluid (air) the more turbulence and in the case of faster breathing the propensity to breath shallower or smaller volumes per breath, but the numbers come up on the side of the faster breathing, i.e., you move a larger total volume of air per minute; and such breathing is enhanced by the training effect. Note: I don't mean one of those, breath through a straw scams will build better breathing muscles, but the same way your build speed and endurance via progressive training. There is specificity of training even for the process of breathing.
