Body Exercise Brisk Analysis
Introduction
My assignment is going to be about the immediate and long-term effects of exercise on the body particularly looking at exercise to the cardiovascular system and respiratory system. Exercise is very important for a number of reasons. It helps prevent diseases, improves stamina and circulation of the blood, strengthens and tones the body, enhances flexibility, controls weight and most importantly improves our quality of life. Our bodies crave exercise, without it we are putting extra pressure on our vital organs to work harder than they should be. If you exercise you are reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. In my assignment I investigated how exercise can be beneficial to …show more content…
I had to breathe faster and deeper to get more oxygen into the body to meet the demands of exercise. Because I was breathing harder to supply oxygen to the bloodstream, more blood pumps through my system and my blood pressure increases.
The Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system consists of the blood, the heart and the blood vessels. It is an organ system that passes nutrients such as (amino acids, electrolytes and lymph), gases, hormones and blood cells to and from cells in the body to help fight diseases, stabilize blood temperature and to maintain homeostasis. It is basically seen as a blood distribution network.

• Remove waste gases from the body- carbon dioxide.
Short-term effects
When you exercise, your body has an increased need for oxygen. The working muscles need more oxygen to perform. Our respiratory system must make adjustments to help meet the demands of the body during exercise. The primary function of the respiratory system is to provide a method of gas exchange between the air around you and the human body. Essentially this means to bring more oxygen into the body for energy production and to remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
Long-term effects
Mucus build-up can diminish our lung capacity and lead to bacterial infections. Excessive mucus in our lungs is associated with higher mortality, may obstruct airflow and increases the risk of infections. Regular exercise can help offset these conditions by preventing mucus from building up in our lungs. Our body adapts to long-term exercise by increasing the size and number of capillaries, including alveolar capillaries. This adaption makes the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen more efficient. The skeletal muscles that control respiration include our diaphragm and intercostals. The long-term effect of exercise is to build the endurance of these respiratory muscles, allowing deeper, fuller and more efficient breaths. The risks of exercise on the respiratory system depend on a number of factors. If you were out-of-shape then the risks would be a lot higher than an individual who is physically
