Long Term Effects of Exercise

?
Increased Tidal Volume
(at rest & during exercise)
The Volume of air inspired or expired per breath
1 of 12
Capillarisation
The number of capillaries increase near the alveoli & the working muscles, this increases the rate of gaseous exchange
2 of 12
Cardiac Hypertrophy
An increase in strength & size of the the left ventricle
3 of 12
Increased Cardiac Output
The amount of blood ejected from the heart per minute
(Q = HR x SV)
4 of 12
Intercostal Muscles Strengthen
These muscles allow inspiration & expiration, they contract & relax to create the movement pattern needed for breathing
5 of 12
Increased Aerobic Capacity
During exercise the ability to breath increases
6 of 12
Increased Stroke Volume
(at rest & during exercise)
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart per beat
7 of 12
Increased Bone Density
Increased mineral density & calcium absorption increase bone strength, preventing osteoporosis
8 of 12
Muscular Hypertrophy
An increase in strength & size of the muscles
9 of 12
Increased Resistance to Fatigue
Increased slow twitch muscle fibres size leads to an increased energy production & ability to train at higher intensities for longer durations
10 of 12
Decreased Resting Heart Rate
(at rest & during exercise)
The amount of times the heart beats per minute
11 of 12
Increased Minute Ventilation
(during exercise)
The volume of air inspired or expired per minute
(VE = TV x f )
