The benefits of physical exercise for adults are many and varied. Studies show that an active lifestyle is essential for maintaining good health. Rollo‚ (2007) list some benefits which include reduced risk of heart disease‚ weight loss‚ improved self image‚ relief from anxiety and depression. This essay will address these physiological and psychological benefits of physical exercise.

Vigorous and unfamiliar exercise‚ particularly which involves eccentric muscle actions can cause muscle damage and lead to delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)‚ which may impair performance. This is due to the high force features of eccentric contraction (Starbuck & Eston‚ 2011). It can also cause muscle shortening‚ swelling and loss of strength in the muscles. Injuries commonly occur during eccentric loading of the muscle; that is‚ when the muscle is contracting while it is lengthening. (LaStayo

Explain 4 ways that metabolic substrates (“fuels”) are made available to working muscles during prolonged aerobic exercise. What hormones contribute to these effects? What is the primary effect of the sympathetic nervous system on the cardiopulmonary system during exercise? What is “sympatholysis” and

to the increase in energy demands at the start of exercise Introduction The transition from rest to exercise is associated with a huge upsurge in energy expenditure‚ due primarily to skeletal muscle contractions (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). Contractions require energy in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). ATP stores in muscle are around 8mmol/l and are exhausted within 2s of exercise (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). To continue exercise and maintain ATP homeostasis‚ ATP production must

circulating in the muscles. If Lactic acid accumulates‚ the process of anaerobic glycolysis slows down‚ resulting in fatigue. This energy system takes 20-60 minutes depending on the fitness level to remove the accumulated lactic acid after maximal exercise. The third energy system is a much slower process of collecting energy‚ however; the energy produced lasts longer than the other two energy systems‚ and therefore it is
