Adaptations

• What are the effects and benefits of exercise on the skeletal system?

  Improved bone density and strength and stronger ligaments and tendons
• How does exercise impact your bones and health?

  It enhances bone health and reduces injury risk and increased stability
• What are the training adaptations in the muscular system?

  • Increased muscle strength
  • Enhanced endurance
  • Improved muscle coordination
  • Greater muscle size (hypertrophy)
• What are the adaptations to the cardiovascular system from regular exercise?

  Increased cardiac output and stroke volume
• Why are adaptations to the cardiovascular system beneficial?

  They improve overall cardiovascular efficiency
• What is cardiac output?

  The amount of blood the heart pumps per minute
• What is stroke volume?

  The amount of blood pumped per heartbeat
• What are the effects and benefits of exercise on the respiratory system?

  • Increased lung capacity
  • Improved oxygen uptake
  • Enhanced respiratory efficiency
  • Better endurance during physical activity
• Why are adaptations in the respiratory system beneficial?

  They enhance oxygen delivery to muscles
• What is the importance of understanding adaptations to exercise?

  It helps optimize training and performance
