Introduction to long term adaptations to exercise
1. Fill in the Blanks
The type, intensity and duration of exercise will determine which systems of the body adapt the most.
Regular exercise such as running, cycling, and swimming will result in adaptations mainly to the and systems, whilst high intensity training such as resistance training, sprinting and jumping will result in and system adaptations.
(cardiovascular | muscular | skeletal | aerobic | respiratory)
2. Discuss how regularly undertaking different types, intensities lead to different adaptations of the body.
Type your answer in the box then check your answer against the model answer.
Aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, and cycling leads mainly to more adaptations in the cardiovascular and respiratory system. Whereas higher intensity exercise such as sprinting, jumping, weight training, mainly lead to more adaptations of the muscular and skeletal systems.
