The Physiology of Fitness – Acute and long term effects on the body Musculoskeletal System Response to acute exercise Increased Blood Supply During exercise your blood supply increases to your muscles‚ the reason for this is to keep them working and making sure that they don’t get tired too easily. Increase in Muscle Pliability During exercise your muscles will also become more pliable because as the muscles contract quickly they will generate heat‚ this then makes the muscles more pliable

Anatomy and Physiology are probably 2 of many different sciences necessary for the best understanding of the human body and how it functions. So I believe that in order to compare two things‚ you need to explain what each are first. ANATOMY is the study of the human body. It can also be defined as being the study of how various parts of the body interact and work together. PHYSIOLOGY is the study of how living organisms function. That includes nutrition‚ movement‚ and reproduction. So you are pretty

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Although the term cardiovascular disease refers to a disorder of the cardiovascular system‚ it is usually associated with atherosclerosis‚ also known as arterial disease. It is considered the leading cause of deaths in the world‚ taking 17.1 million lives a year. There are only a few factors that are non-modifiable‚ these being the persons age‚ gender‚ family history and their race and ethnicity. Although there are non-modifiable risk factors‚ there are multiple

What is exercise physiology? Exercise physiology is the science that describes‚ explains and uses the body’s response to exercise and adaption to exercise to maximise human physical potential. Exercise physiology is very important in touch because the amount of physical activity our body can tolerate‚ the better we will play for the longest amount of time. ATP/CP system is used by the body to produce ATP quickly in the absence of oxygen. High intensity activities lasting for less than 10 seconds

The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send blood into tough‚ elastic tubes called arteries‚ which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries
