BTEC Sport Level 3 - Unit 1 - Adaptations

What are the responses of the skeletal system after a single session of exercise?

• Stimulates mineral uptake in the bones

• Increased range of joint movement

• Increased bone density and strength

• Stimulates production of collagen due to stress on the bones

A lack of regular exercise can cause what common conditions in the skeletal system?

• Diabetes

• Osteoporosis

• Arthritis

• Scoliosis

Regular exercise will cause the following long-term aerobic adaptations to the muscular system.

• Increased mitochondria, increased myoglobin and increased use of fat (as an energy source)

• Increased mitochondria, reduced myoglobin and increased use of glycogen

• Increased myoglobin, increased tolerance to lactate and increased stores of glycogen

One long-term change to the muscular system due to regular anaerobic training is...

Short-term (immediate) responses to exercise for the respiratory system include...

• Increased breathing rate

• Increased vital capacity

• Increased tidal volume

• Increased heart rate

How does altitude affect the respiratory system?

• Reduces the amount of oxygen available

• Muscles fatigue more rapidly

• We breath in less air

• Decreases the body's red blood cell count

Which of these are a short-term response of the CV system to exercise?

• Increased blood pressure

• Reduced cardiac output

• Increased blood volume

• Anticipatory rise

List three long-term adaptations of the CV system due to regular exercise.

Regular training will cause adaptations to the aerobic energy system. What are the three main adaptations?

• Production of additional ATP

• Increased use of fats as a fuel source

• Increased storage of glycogen

• Increased number of mitochondria

A hypoglycaemic attack occurs due to...

• Blood sugar levels being too high

• Low glycogen stores

• Blood sugar levels being too low

• Increased glycogen stores
