Soc9: Long - Term Effects Of Exersize

Question 1

What are the long - term effects of aerobic exersize

Answer 1

In terms of aerobic exercise, the effects of training will increase the ability to work for long periods of time. For example..
• Improved times for long distance athletes (5,000m, 10,000m, marathon runners etc.).
• Ability to run for 90 minutes during a football game (improve cardiovascular fitness levels).

Question 2

What are the long-term effects of anaerobic exersize

Answer 2

In terms of anaerobic exercise, the effects of training will increase the ability to move in quick bursts. For example..
• Sprinting for the bail in football.
• Making a powerful tackle in a rugby game.
• Improved time over the shorter/ sprint distances in athletics or swimming.

Question 3

What are the 4 long-term effects of exersize on the muscular-skeletal system ?

Answer 3

• Increased strength of llgaments 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

Question 4

What are the 5 long term effects on the cardio-respiratory system - heart of exersize ?

Answer 4

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 .
Maximum cardiac output - the amount of blood ejected from your heart in one minute. Cardiac output (CO) = stroke volume (SV) × 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.

Question 5

What are the 3 long -term effects of exersize on the blood ?

Answer 5

Improved fitness increases the 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.

Question 6

What are 3 long term effects of training your lungs ?

Answer 6

• Increased lung volume and vital capacity
• Increased number of alveoli
• Increased strength of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles.
