Effects of Exercise on the Body Systems Flashcards
1
Q
Vascular Shunt
A
At rest 20% of blood goes to muscles and 80% to the organs.
During exercise 80% of blood goes to muscles and 20% to the organs
Blood supply to the brain is maintained
2
Q
Long term effects of Exercise on the Respiratory System
A
Stronger respiratory muscles (intercoastal & Diaphragm) More alveoli Increased Tidal volume Lower resting respiratory rate Increased maximum minute volume
3
Q
(Immediate) Short Term Effects of Exercise
A
Heart Rate increases Cardiac Output & Stroke Volume increase Vascular shunt Increase of blood to working muscles Muscle temperature increases Breathing rate increases Minute volume and tidal volume increase Increased volume of oxygen to muscles
4
Q
Long term effects of Exercise on the Muscular & Skeletal systems
A
Hypertrophy (increased size of muscles) Increased strength Increased Muscular Endurance Increased Resistance to fatigue Reduced risk of injury
Skeletal System:
Increase in bone density
5
Q
Long term effects of Exercise on the Cardiovascular system
A
Increased capillarization of muscles and alveoli
Increased in number of red blood cells
Cardiac Hypertrophy of the heart which leads to:
Increased stroke volume
Increased cardiac output
Increased speed of recovery
Decreased resting heart rate
