Short and Long term effects of exercise - Edexcel GCSE PE

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

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

• increased number of alveoli

• increased flexibility

• increased strength

• increased joint stability

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

• hypertrophy

• increase strength of diaphragm and intercostal muscles

• increased resting heart rate

• decreased tidal volume and vital capacity

A long term effect of exercise on the cardiovascular system is

• recovery rate

• increased capillarisation

• increased bone density

• increased strength

A long term effect of exercise on the cardiovascular system is

• recovery rate

• increased resting stroke volume

• increased bone density

• increased strength

stronger ligaments are a long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system, how would this impact the performer

• less chance of compounds fractures

• less chance of a dislocation

• more oxygen can be delivered to working muscles

• allows more force to be produced by the player.

an increase in myoglobin is a long term effect of exercise on the muscular system, but what does it enable

• it allows more oxygen to breathed in

• more oxygen can be delivered to the working muscles

• increase in the production of slow twitch muscle fibres

• increased strength
