Edexcel GCSE PE - Long term effects of exercise

A long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system is

• Increased chance of fracture

• increased density of bones

• increase in speed

• reduced chance of a muscular strain

A long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system is

• Increased chance of injury

• decreased recovery rate

• stronger tendons and ligaments

• reduced chance of a muscular strain

Hypertrophy is a long term effect on the muscular system, which muscle fibres experience hypertrophy after prolonged aerobic exercise

• fast twitch

• both fast and slow twitch

• slow twitch

• all muscle types

A long term effect of exercise on the muscular system is

• reduced blood pressure

• increased number of alveoli

• increased tolerance to lactic acid

• decreased tolerance to lactic acid

A long term effect of exercise on the respiratory system is

• cardiac hypertrophy

• increase in the number of white blood cells

• increased breathing rate

• increased tidal volume and vital capacity

A long term effect of exercise on the respiratory system is
