Introduction to short and long term effects of exercise
1. Fill in the Blanks
How the body adapts to physical activity depends on the intensity and duration of exercise. refers to how hard we work, and refers to the length of time spent exercising. High intensity exercise can only be maintained for a duration, whereas low and moderate intensity exercise can be maintained for a duration.
Longer duration moderate intensity exercise is mainly in nature, resulting in a variety of responses and adaptations to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Whilst short duration, high intensity exercise will stress the energy systems, and the muscular and skeletal systems more.
(short | duration | aerobic | anaerobic | long | Intensity)
2. Describe what is meant by short term, or acute, responses to exercise.
Type your answer in the box then check your answer against the model answer.
Immediate responses to exercise that are reversed once the demands of exercise are removed and the body recovers.
3. Describe what is meant by long term, or chronic, responses to exercise.
Type your answer in the box then check your answer against the model answer.
Adaptations that take place following regular participation in exercise over periods of weeks or even months.
