Long Term Effects Of Exercise

Question 1

Lung capacity

Answer 1

Amount of blood pumped by heart per beat - the lower this is the fitter you are and the stronger your heart is.

Question 3

Maximum cardiac output

Answer 3

The amount of blood ejected from your heart in one minute

Co=Sv x hr

Question 4
