Paper 1 -long Term Effects Of Exercise

Question 1

Long term effects of exercise on the muscular system.

Answer 1

1. Muscle hypertrophy increases
2. Muscular strength increases
3. Muscular endurance increases
4. Resistance to fatigue increases

Question 2

Long term effects of exercise on the muscular system. 1.muscle hypertrophy occurs.

Answer 2

1.muscle hypertrophy occurs
-the muscle mass increases in size and strength(hypertrophy) due to regular resistance training.

Question 3

Long term effects of exercise on the muscular system. 2.muscular strength increases.

Answer 3

2.muscular strength increases
-as the muscles adapt to regular high intensity strength training they become stronger.
-muscle fibres become thicker and can operate with more strength. The strength of the tendons also increase.

Question 4

Long term effects of exercise on the muscular system. 3.muscular endurance increases.

Answer 4

3.muscular endurance increases.
-as the muscles adapt to regular endurance training they become able to work for longer periods of time.

Question 5

Long term effects of exercise on the muscular system. 4.resistance to fatigue increases.

Answer 5

4.resistance to fatigue increases
-as the muscles adapt to regular training they increase the amount of time they can work before fatiguing. They have higher tolerance to lactic acid.
-muscles have become stronger and more efficient meaning they can create more energy to delay the onset of being tired.
