long-term effects of exercise Flashcards
what is the adaptation that occurs as a long term effect of exercise on the muscular system
improved tone/ hypertrophy
what is the adaptation that occurs as a long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system
bone density increases
what is the adaptation that occurs as a long term effect of exercise on the cardiovascular system
- left ventricle hypertrophy
- improved ability to utilise oxygen e.g. capillirisation of muscles and lungs causing more O2 to diffuse
what is the adaptation that occurs as a long term effect of exercise on the cardio-respiratory system
- increased vital capacity
- increased efficiency e.g. increase in minute ventilation - get more O2 into the body and remove more CO2
what is the adaptation that occurs as a long term effect of exercise on the energy systems
- ability to withstand lactic acid
- ability to remove more lactic acid, therefore delaying fatigue
how does the intensity/ duration of exercise effect the long term effects on the muscular system
- heavy weight, low reps increases size
- low weight, high reps increases tone and muscular endurance
how does the intensity/ duration of exercise effect the long term effects on the skeletal system
- high intensity- impact on denisty increases
how does the intensity/ duration of exercise effect the long term effects on the cardiovasuclar system
continuous, fartlek or interval aerobic training causes significant adaptations
how does the intensity/ duration of exercise effect the long term effects on the cardio-respiratory system
improvement is most pronounced hen working in the aerobic training xone (60-80% max HR), working study state for a long period of time
how does the intensity/ duration of exercise effect the long term effects on the energy systems
anaerobic threshold work (sprints with little rest) improves lactic acid tolerance
