  • Long term effects on the cardiovascular system
    • lower resting heart rate
    • faster heart recovery rate
    • increased cardiac output
    • increased stroke volume
    • decreased blood pressure
    • healthier veins and arteries
    • heart hypertrophy
  • long term effect on the skeletal system
    bone density increases
  • long term effects on the muscular system
    • muscle hypertrophy
    • muscular strength increases
    • muscular endurance increases
  • long term effects on the respiratory system
    • capilliarisation
    • increased tidal volume
    • increased minute ventilation
    • respiratory muscles increase in efficiency and size
  • short term effects on the cardiovascular system
    • increased heart rate
    • increased stroke volume
    • increased cardiac output
    • increased redistribution of blood flow
  • short term effects on the muscular system
    • build up of lactic acid
    • increase in muscle temperature
  • short term effects on the respiratory system
    • increased respiratory rate
    • increased tidal volume
    • increased minute ventilation
  • capillarisation
    capillary density increases
  • why is capillarisation good
    better capillary network = more effective gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
  • muscular hypertrophy of the heart
    heart can contract with great force and pump more blood around the body
