Exercise Physiology Concepts

The video discusses the long-term effects of exercise, focusing on physiological adaptations such as increased bone density, muscle elasticity, and hypertrophy. It highlights improvements in energy system efficiency, cardiovascular health, and the benefits of a lower resting heart rate and blood pressure. These changes contribute to enhanced performance and overall health.

What is considered a long-term period in the context of exercise effects?

• Months and years

• Hours and days

• Days and weeks

• Weeks and months

What is one of the benefits of increased bone density due to exercise?

• Improved flexibility

• Better force transmission

• Increased speed

• Enhanced muscle growth

How does increased muscle elasticity benefit performance?

• By reducing muscle size

• By improving muscle endurance

• By decreasing energy consumption

• By allowing faster and more powerful movements

What does hypertrophy refer to in the context of exercise?

• Decrease in heart rate

• Increase in bone density

• Increase in muscle size

• Decrease in muscle size

Which part of the body experiences hypertrophy that leads to increased blood volume expulsion?

• Heart

• Kidneys

• Liver

• Lungs

What happens to the resting heart rate as a result of long-term exercise?

• It remains the same

• It fluctuates

• It decreases

• It increases

What is the term used for a resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute?

• Arrhythmic

• Bradycardic

• Hypertensive

• Tachycardic

How does a lower resting heart rate benefit exercise performance?

• By enhancing bone density

• By improving muscle elasticity

• By increasing the range of heart rate during exercise

• By reducing energy expenditure

What is the effect of long-term exercise on resting blood pressure?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It becomes erratic

• It remains unchanged

What does an increase in vital capacity mean for the lungs?

• The lungs become smaller

• More air is inhaled and exhaled

• Less air is inhaled and exhaled

• The lungs become less efficient
