Assignment 2 The Body’s responses to long term exercise A response to long term exercise is a change that happens to your body over a long period of time due to exercise. It is also known as chronic exercise. Unlike the short-term effects‚ these changes do not happen immediately‚ they take time and effort to achieve. Once these responses take place it will allow an athlete to work at a higher intensity for longer. These changes mainly occur in the heart‚ lungs and muscles. This table shows the changes

The cardiovascular system plays a very important role in keeping the body alive. It is responsible for transportation of blood around the body. Blood carries many important things such as oxygen and nutrients to various organs allowing them to function properly. Blood also carries waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs for gas exchange and metabolic waste to the kidneys for filtration and excretion. The cardiovascular system comprises of three different parts these being the heart‚ blood and

through our body. The blood moves through pulmonary circulation and then continues on through systemic circulation. Pulmonary and systemic are the two circuits in the two-circuit system of higher animals with closed circulatory systems. As the heart pumps‚ blood is pushed through our body through the entire circulatory system. Oxygenated blood is pumped away from the heart to the rest of the body‚ while deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs where it is re-oxygenated before returning to the heart

Callum Bourke Describe the long term effects of exercise on the Muskoskeletal system and energy systems. (P3) Describe the long term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. (P4) Cardiovascular System Cardiac Hypertrophy The heart increases in size and volume; this allows more blood to enter the heart allowing a greater amount of oxygenated blood to be pumped to the working muscles. To withstand the large amount of blood‚ the left ventricle becomes thicker

The Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic cardiac______ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses___ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of _heart depolarization___. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3. List the functions for the following parts of the intrinsic conduction system: a. SA Node __initiates the depolarizing

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA‚ 2006) one of the principal work-related causes of pain and disabilities in the place of work are musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common medical problems in the U.S. as they affect 7% of the American population according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH‚ 1997). These MSDs include problems such as lower back pain‚ joint injuries and strain on nerves

Exercise and Its Effect on Depression Abstract Depression affects 340 million people worldwide and is ranked fourth in its global impact on modern society. The current review demonstrates that clinical long-term human studies need to be performed in an effort to provide conclusive evidence of whether physical activity can reduce or prevent the effects of depression and other mental disorders in humans. There have been hundreds of studies measuring the effects of exercise on depression since

The respiratory system of birds differs significantly from that found in mammals‚ containing unique anatomical features such as air sacs. The lungs of birds also do not have the capacity to inflate as birds lack a diaphragm and a pleural cavity. Gas exchange
