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...
(a)
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
