EXPLAIN THE LONG TERM BENEFITS OF EXERCISE ON THE RESPIRATORY, MUSCULAR, CARDIOASCULAR & SKELETAL SYSTEMS

Exercising has many long term benefits towards your body. The first one I am going to be writing about is the respiratory system.

The respiratory system controls your breathing and begins when you draw in air through your nose or mouth. The air travels through your windpipe into both of your lungs, where small air sacs capture oxygen and distribute it in your bloodstream through small blood vessels called capillaries. Your diaphragm is the muscle the controls respiration and contracts when you inhale. Your diaphragm then relaxes, collapses your chest and forces out carbon dioxide when you exhale. Some of the long term effects are as follows:

The respiratory muscles (Diaphragm/intercostals) increase in strength.
This results in larger lungs which allows more Oxygen to be diffused into the blood flow and it will start cleaning mucus that may be in any of them.
An increase in the number and diameter of capillaries surrounding the alveoli leads to an increase in the efficiency of gaseous exchange.

The muscular system is responsible not only for your movement and mobility. But also our muscular system is responsible for our energy, to move food from one organ to another. The three kinds of muscle we have are cardiac, smooth and skeletal. Some of the long term benefits of exercise on the muscular system are as follows :

increased numbers of mitochondria (the cells powerhouse) means an increase in the rate of energy production.
The muscles, bones and ligaments become stronger to cope with the additional stresses and impact put through them and helps you stay fit.
The amount of myoglobin within skeletal muscle increases, which allows more Oxygen to be stored within the muscle, and transported to the mitochondria.
Muscles are a store of glycogen for energy.
Enzymes involved in energy production become more concentrated and efficient

    The respiratory system maintains oxygen supply to cells and removes CO2 and water from the body. The main parts of the respiratory system is the trachea(windpipe), lungs bronchioles,nose, bronchi, muscle and mouth. Breathing provides oxygen for our bodies and humans need this to sustain. Respiration takes place in the lungs, oxgen enters the nose /mouth then passes through the sinuses (hallow place) which regulates temperature and humidity of the air we breathe. The trachea filters air that is…

    The respiratory system takes oxygen (O2) into the body and eliminates carbon dioxide (CO2). It also enables speech production. Our bodies need energy for movement, growth and reproduction. This energy can only be obtained from the food we eat. By the process of respiration, chemicals of food are eliminated to produce energy that can later be used by the cells of the body.…

    Aute Responses to Exercise

    There is an increase in blood supply as your body is working "overtime”. The blood supply has to increase because it has to go to the parts in your body which you are exercising the most e.g. If you are taking a run, the blood supply will increase because your legs will need more energy, therefore there will be more blood circulating your legs than normal because you are overworking them. Your muscles and all your body organs need more energy and oxygen; this is because your body is working more than usual. Your body needs to do many things such as sweat, which helps you cool down, and to get energy to all of your cells in your body to help you carry on exercising, if your body didn't do this, and then you wouldn't be able to carry on exercising. During acute exercise your muscle pliability increases which allows a greater range of movement which helps reduce injury. Acute Exercise will cause muscle fibre tears. This is generally known as micro- trauma. The myosin heads and the actin filaments will be pulled from the myofibrils. This damage will cause a release of chemicals that cause the soreness after your period of exercise. The chemicals released also stimulate repair and growth in the area to rebuild the tears in the muscle.…

    Oxygen from the air passes to the surrounding capillaries (blood vessels) by through the walls of the alveoli which are very thin. It is the hemoglobin which is a red blood cell protein that move oxygen from the alveoli to the blood. Also, the carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into alveoli…

    Physical Benefits: - Physical inactivity is a major risk for developing coronary artery disease. It also contributes to other risk factors including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Some physical activities build muscular strength while others increase endurance. Some forms of physical activities involve using the large muscles in your arms or legs. These are called endurance or aerobic exercises. These activities help the heart by making it work more efficiently during exercise and at rest. Other physical benefits can include:- An increase in muscle strength, an increase in joint mobility, an increase in appetite, the normalisation of sleep patterns, the lowering of blood pressure, an increase in lung capacity (how big a breath can be taken), an increased ability to carry out tasks of daily living.…

    These muscles help a person with their balance. Each time a person lifts weights, they are indirectly targeting those little muscles that help keep them upright and take care of everyday tasks such as balancing on one foot to reach a high shelf or stopping yourself from falling on an icy surface. This is especially important for people as they age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of injury-related death in adults over 65. Exercise helps your brain stick to a diet plan.…
