Soc 9 - Long Term Effects Of Exercise Flashcards
Adaption
Your body’s response to training and how your body changes to cope with new activity
Aerobic
Working at a moderate intensity with oxygen
Anaerobic
Working at a high intensity level without oxygen
What are Alveoli?
Tiny sacs within our lungs that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and bloodstream
What is the Diaphragm?
The primary muscle used in the process of inspiration or inhalation
What is Cardiac Output?
The amount of blood ejected from your heart in 1 minute (CO) = (RSV) x (RHR)
What is Stroke Volume?
The amount of blood pumped per beat
Recovery Rate
The speed at which your heart returns to RHR after your exercise
Long term effects of exercise on the cardio-respiratory system (blood)
- Increased number of red blood cells
- Increased number of capillaries in your muscles
- Drop in resting blood pressure
Long term effects of exercise on the cardio-respiratory system (lungs)
- Increased lung capacity / volume and vital capacity
- Increased number of alveoli
- Increased strength of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles
Long term effects of exercise on the musculo skeletal system
- Increased strength of ligaments
- Increased bone density
- Increased strength of tendons
Long term effects of exercise on the cardio-respiratory system (heart)
- Increased resting stroke volume
- Decreased resting heart rate
- Faster recovery rate
- Increased size and strength of heart
- Maximum Cardiac Output
Long term effect of aerobic exercise
The effects of training will increase the ability to work for long periods of time.
What is lung capacity?
The total amount of air that the lungs can hold after the biggest possible breath in
Long term effects of anaerobic exercise
The effects of training will increase the ability to move in quick bursts. In practice, this could apply to:
• 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.
