Sport
Unit 5: The Sports Performer in Action
Learning aim A: Know about the short-term responses and long-term adaptations of the body systems to exercise
Topic A.1 Short-term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system:
- increased production of synovial fluid for joint lubrication and nourishment
- increased joint range of movement due to increase in blood flow and increased muscle temperature
- micro tears in muscle fibres, causing the muscle to rebuild itself and become slightly bigger and stronger
- exercise (high-impact activity) encourages new bone formation
- increased metabolic activity.
Topic A.2 Short-term effects of exercise on the cardiorespiratory system:
- increased heart rate due to the heart having to work harder to pump oxygenated blood around the body
- increased breathing rate, in order to supply more oxygen to working muscles and remove carbon dioxide
- increased blood flow
- sweat production and skin reddening
- re-distribution of blood flow via the vasoconstriction (narrowing) of arterioles supplying inactive parts of the body and vasodilation (opening) of arterioles supplying skeletal muscles with more blood and nutrients
- increased build-up of lactic acid in the blood
- increased cardiac output to get oxygenated blood to working muscles (due to increased heart rate and stroke volume)
- increased blood pressure – as the cardiovascular system works to deliver more oxygen and glucose to the muscles (systolic pressure rises and diastolic pressure remains unchanged)
- as muscular activity increases, the production of carbon dioxide increases resulting in an increase in Tidal Volume (TV) (TV is the amount of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath).
Travel
Year 11 Pupils have covered all the elements of the subject and are now doing revision ready for the exam in January
