?
What are the short term effects of exercise on the muscular system?
Increased muscle temperature and increased production of lactic acid.
1 of 7
What are the short term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system?
Increased heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and redistribution of blood flow to the muscles (vascular shunt mechanism)
2 of 7
What are the short term effects of exercise on the respiratory system?
Increased breathing rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation and an increased volume of oxygen to the muscles.
3 of 7
What is a long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system?
Increased bone density
4 of 7
What are the long term effects of exercise on the muscular system?
Hypertrophy of the muscles, increased muscular strength, increased muscular endurance and resistance to fatigue
5 of 7
