Principles of training-long term effects

Question 1

What are the long term effects of flexibility training?

Answer 1

Adaptations to the musculoskeletal system, increased range of movement at a joint, increased flexibility of ligaments and tendons, increased muscle lengths.

Question 2

What are the long term effects of aerobic endurance training?

Answer 2

Adaptations to the cardiorespiratory system, cardiac hypertrophy,
decreased resting HR, increased strength of intercostal muscles, capillarisation around alveoli.

Question 3

What are the long term effects of muscular endurance training?

Answer 3

Adaptations to the muscular system, capillarisation around muscle tissues, increased muscle tone.

Question 4

What are the long term effects of speed training?

Answer 4

Adaptations to the muscular system, increased tolerance to lactic acid.

Question 5

What are the long term effects of strength training?

Answer 5

Adaptations to the musculoskeletal system, muscle hypertrophy, increased ligament and tendon strength, increased bone density.
