Describe the long-term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system and energy systems:
Musculoskeletal System:
Muscles become bigger and stronger depending on the type of exercise that you do. Such as for strength exercises - heavy weights and low repetitions also increase the strength and size of muscle tissue (which is called muscle hypertrophy). However endurance exercises - low weights and high repetitions which increase the efficiency of the muscle and its ability to work for longer periods of time.
Bone density:
A long term effect of exercise is bone density, this happens over a period of 6 to 7 weeks. However …show more content…
But this only occurs because our microfibers are put under heavy stress levels which causes them to tear. But what’s interesting is that the torn fibres are remodelled into much stronger microfibers which then over time increases your muscle …show more content…
According to research people who exercise aerobically may actually live longer than those who don't.
Aerobic & anaerobic enzymes are both used to produce energy, but convert it into ATP. When the number of anaerobic enzymes increase, they control the anaerobic phase of the glucose breakdown. However this increase will definitely affect the body because the more glucose that gets broken down the more energy can be produced to fuel the our body. Moreover an increased number of aerobic enzymes muscle tissue have the ability to generate ATP. This increase affects the body because even though there is an increase in aerobic enzymes, there will always be the possibility of an increase in the number of mitochondria(Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed by the body to sustain life and support growth). This affects the body because more energy can be supplied and produced to fuel the athlete. Overall increased aerobic & anaerobic enzymes definitely benefit an athlete because both of these enzymes play a role in either the breakdown of certain fuels to make energy or the production of energy. This highly benefits an athlete because more energy they are able to produce means the higher the intensity they are able to work/compete
