Q

What are the 5 long-term effects of exercise on the heart?

A

Size and strength of the heart - training increases the heart muscles in size, thickness and strength.
Increased resting stroke volume - stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped by your heart per beat. When you exercise regularly, your stroke volume increase, both at rest and at work
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.

Increased number of capillaries in your muscles and helps your blood vessels more elastic, flexible and efficient.
Increased number of red blood cells - These cells carry oxygen to the muscles, so having higher red 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.
