aerobic training

Question 1

What are some structrual adaptations of respiratory system from aerobic training?

Answer 1

• Stronger respiratory muscle
• Increased surface area of alveoli

Question 2

What are some functional adaptations of respiratory system from aerobic training?

Answer 2

• Increased mechanics of breathing efficiency
• Increased external gaseous exchange

Question 3

What are some overall adaptations of respiratory system from aerobic training?

Answer 3

• Increased volume of O2 diffused into blood stream
• Increases the intensity and durationof performance
• Delays OBLA

Question 4

What are some structural adaptations of cardiovascular system from aerobic training?

Answer 4

• Cardiac Hypertrophy
• Increased elasticity of arterial wall
• Increased blood/ plasma volume
• Increased number of RBC

Question 5

What are some functional adaptations of cardiovascular system from aerobic training?

Answer 5

• Increased SV and Q
• Increased efficiency of vascular shunt mechanism
• Lower blood viscosity
• Increased O2 carrying capacity

Question 6

What are some overall adaptations of cardiovascular system from aerobic training?

Answer 6

• Increased blood flow and oxygen transport to the muscle cells
• Decreased blood pressure
• Delays OBLA

Question 7

What are some structural adaptations of musculo-skeletal system from aerobic training?

Answer 7

• Slow oxidative muscle fibre hypertrophy
• Increased size and density of mitochondria
• Increased stores of myoglobin
• Increased stores of glycogen and triglycerides
• Fast oxidative glycolytic fibres become more aerobic
• Increased strength of connective tissue
• Increased bone mineral density

Question 8

What are some functional adaptations of musculo-skeletal system from aerobic training?

Answer 8

• Increased potential for aerobic energy production
• Increased utilisation of oxygen
• Increased storage and transport of oxygen to mitochondria
• Increased aerobic fuels
• Tendons and ligaments strengthen = decreased risk of injury
• Increased calcium absorption

Question 9

What are some overall adaptations of musculo-skeletal system from aerobic training?

Answer 9

• Increased capacity of aerobic energy production
• Increased joint stability
• Delays OBLA

Question 10

What are some structual adaptations of metabolic function from aerobic training?

Answer 10

• Increased activity of aerobic enzymes
• Decreased fat mass
• Decreased insulin resistance

Question 11

What are some functional adaptations of metabolic function from aerobic training?

Answer 11

• Increased metabolism of triglycerides and glycogen
• Increased lean mass
• Improved glucose tolerance

Question 12

What are some overall adaptations of metabolic function from aerobic training?

Answer 12

• Increased use of fuel and oxygen to provide aerobic energy
• Improved body composition
• Delays OBLA
