Soc 9- Long Term Effects Of Exercise Flashcards
What is the long term effect on aerobic exercise?
Will increase ability to work for long periods of time.
For example, improved time for long distance runners and ability to run for 90min in a football game.
What is the long term effect on anaerobic exercise?
In terms of anaerobic exercise, the effects of training will increase the ability to move in quick bursts. For example..
• Sprinting for the ball in football.
• Making a powerful tackle in a rugby game.
• Improved time over the shorter/ sprint distances in athletics or swimming.
What are the 4 long-term effects on the musculo-skeletal system
• Increased strength of ligaments and tendons.
• Increased bone density - helps prevent osteoporosis (weakening of bones)
• Muscle hypertrophy - the growth and increase of the size of muscle cells
• Adaptation - the body adapts to training by increasing the ability to cope with those loads
What are the 5 long-term effects of exercise on the heart?
Size and strength of the heart - training increases the heart muscles in size, thickness and strength.
Botal restate or hen you xorse regulary, your stroke vole raged
Maximum cardiac output - the amount of blood ejected from your heart in one
minute. Cardiac output (CO) = stroke volume (SV) X heart rate (HR).
Decreased resting heart rate - your heart gets bigger/ stronger with training, so it can supply the same amount of blood with fewer beats.
Faster recovery rate - heart recovery rate is the speed at which your heart returns to RHR after you exercise. The faster your recovery rate, the fitter you are.
What are the 3 long-term effects of exercise on the blood?.
Improved fitness increases the number of capillaries in your muscles and helps your blood vessels more elastic, flexible and efficient.
Increase number of red blood cells-these cells carry oxygen to the muscles, so having higher eee blood cell count can improve their performance
Drop in resting blood pressure - regular exercise reduces blood pressure due to the muscular wall of the veins and arteries becoming more elastic.
What are the 3 long-term effects of exercise on the lungs?
Your lungs will become more efficient, and they will be better at delivering oxygen to your working muscles, so your body will cope better during exercise.
Increased number of alveoli
More alveoli will become available for gaseous exchange after regular exercise, so more oxygen can be absorbed by the capillaries and more carbon dioxide taken from them.
Increased strength of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles.
Exercise increases the strength of the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles - the muscles that work to increase airflow during physical activity.
What is stoke volume?
Amount of blood pumped per beat
