Topic 3.4- Long Term Effects of Exercise Flashcards
What are the three main areas that benefit from exercise?
What is a long term effect?
What is this otherwise known as?
What happens to the lungs as a result of aerobic and anaerobic fitness increasing?
What is the body better able to cope with in exercise as a result of aerobic and anaerobic fitness increasing?
Why is this?
What two things are you able to do as a result of aerobic and anaerobic fitness increasing?
What three things happens to the absorption of water as a result of aerobic and anaerobic fitness increasing?
What is the main effect of training long term with an increase in anaerobic exercise?
Muscular skeletal system, cardio-respiratory system and performance
Where a change occurs over a period of time (month/year)
Adaptation
The lungs work more efficiently
Body better able to cope with the carbon dioxide produced by exercise
Because the lungs are removing it more efficiently
Work harder and longer than before
Water is more efficiently used by cells or lost through sweat or exhaled air
There will be an increase in the ability to move in quick bursts.
What do weight bearing exercises do to the bones?
What does your body do in response?
What does this then do?
What does weight bearing exercise also do to ligaments and tendons and reduces what?
What will increased strength training do to a muscle?
What increases muscular endurance?
When does adaptation occur?
What does your resting heart rate give an indication of and why?
What is heart recovery rate?
What dies it mean if the faster the recovery rate?
Puts them under stress
Your body produces more cells that build new bone
Makes the bones stronger and denser
Increases the strength of ligaments and tendons reducing the chances of injury
Result in an increase in both the size and strength of the muscle
Light weights and many repetitions
During the recovery period after the training session is completed
Your fitness due to the heart getting bigger and stronger with training
The speed at which your heart returns to resting heart rate after you exercise
The fitter you are.
What two things happens to your stroke volume when you exercise regularly?
What is the definition of cardiac output?
What two factors control this?
When do these change?
What reduces the risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)?
What happens to the blood with increased exercise and why?
What three impacts does this have on the blood vessels?
What happens to the number of red blood cells?
What drops due to increased exercise?
What three things increase in your respiratory system due to increased exercise?
What happens to the number of alveoli due to increased exercise?
Stroke volume increases both at rest and at work
The amount of blood ejected from your heart in one minute
Stroke volume and heart rate (pulse)
When you participate in exercise over a long period of time
Hypertrophy of cardiac muscles
Increased capillarisation- improved fitness increases the number of capillaries in heart muscle
Helps make blood vessels more elastic, flexible
Increase in the number of red blood cells
A drop in resting blood pressure
Increased lung capacity, lung volume and vital capacity
Increase in the number of alveoli.
What two things increase in strength in the respiratory system due to increased exercise?
What happens to the alveoli after regular exercise?
What two things happens as a result?
What then increases as well?
What is the definition of recovery?
Increased strength of diaphragm and external intercostal muscles
More alveoli become available for gaseous exchange
More oxygen can be absorbed by the capillaries and more carbon dioxide taken from them
VO2 max (aerobic capacity) increases too
The time required for the repair of damage to the body caused by training or competition.
