increase cardiac output
decrease resting heart rate
cardiac hypertrophy
capillarisation of lungs + muscles
more elastic muscular wall of blood vessels
what are the long term effects on the respiratory system
increased vital capacity
increased tidal volume
increased strength of diaphragm and intercostal muscles
increased lung capacity and volume
what are the long term effects on energy system
increased production of energy from aerobic
increased tolerance of lactic acid
what are the long term effects on muscular system
increased strength in tendons
increased strength in ligaments
muscular hypertrophy
what are the long term effects on skeletal system
