Long term effects of exercise

Question 1

Effects and benefits on the musculo-skeletal system

Answer 1

> increased strength of ligaments and tendons

> increased bone density- helps prevents osteoporosis

> muscular hypertrophy

Question 2

What is muscular hypertrophy

Answer 2

A term for the growth and increased size of muscle cells

Question 3

Effects and benefits on the cardio-respiratory system (the heart)

Answer 3

>decreased resting heart rate
>faster recovery rate
>increased resting stroke volume
>maximum cardiac output
>size and strength of the heart
>capillaries
>increased number of red blood cells

Question 4

Decreased resting heart rate

Answer 4

Your heart gets bigger/stronger with training, so it can supply the same amount of blood with fewer beats

Question 5

Faster recovery rate

Answer 5

The speed at which your heart returns to RHR after exercise

Question 6

Increased resting stroke volume

Answer 6

The amount of blood pumped by your heart per beat

Question 7

Maximum cardiac output

Answer 7

The amount of blood ejected from your heart in one minute

Cardiac output(CO)= stroke volume (SV) x heart rate (HR)

Question 8

Size and strength of the heart

Answer 8

Training increases the heart muscles is size, thickness and strength

Question 9

Capillaries

Answer 9

Capillaries help your blood vessels be more elastic, flexible and efficient.

Question 10

Increased number of red blood cells

Answer 10

These cells carry oxygen to the muscles. Having higher a higher red blood cell count can help improve performance
