P3/4 M2- Know the Long term effects of exercise on the body systems
Cardiovascular system: cardiac hypertrophy; increase in stroke volume; increase in cardiac output, decrease in resting heart rate; capillarisation; increase in blood volume; reduction in resting blood pressure; decreased recovery time; increased aerobic fitness • Muscular system: hypertrophy; increase in tendon strength; increase in myoglobin stores; increased number of mitochondria; increased storage of glycogen and fat; increased muscle strength; increased tolerance to lactic acid • Skeletal system: increase in bone calcium stores; increased stretch in ligaments; increased thickness of hyaline cartilage; increased production of synovial fluid • Respiratory system: increased vital capacity; increase in minute ventilation; increased strength of respiratory muscles; increase in oxygen diffusion rate • Energy systems: increased aerobic and anaerobic enzymes; increased use of fats as an energy source
Skeletal system: increase in bone calcium stores; increased stretch in ligaments; increased thickness of hyaline cartilage; increased production of synovial fluid
Skeletal System • What benefits do you think a football player would get from these improvements? • Increased mineral content • Basically your bones get stronger the more that you use them. • Exercise puts stress on the bones • This encourages the laying down of bony plates and calcium salts along the lines of stress • This increases the tensile strength of the bones • It also increases the strength of the supportive tissue around the joint (Tendons and Ligaments) • Exercise that increases bone strength: • Weight bearing exercise, such as tennis, football, running, basketball • Strength Training, such as Weight training, circuit training
Skeletal System • Hyaline Cartilage • Becomes thicker with regular exercise • It is the most common type of cartilage in the body • It protects the bones from wear at the end of the joints • Provides shock absorption, such as between the vertebrae • Ligaments and Tendons • Both increase in flexibility with regular exercise. • This means stronger joints, and more powerful muscular contraction. • This means that there is more cushioning and shock absorption after regular exercise. • What benefits do you think a football player would get from more flexible ligaments and tendons and thicker hyaline cartilage
Muscular responses to exercise Muscular system: hypertrophy; increase in tendon strength; increase in myoglobin stores; increased number of mitochondria; increased storage of glycogen and fat; increased muscle strength; increased tolerance to lactic acid
Muscle cell • Aerobic exercise, for example a series of long runs, or cycle rides would cause changes to the structure of the muscle fibres • Specifically, slow twitch fibres would increase in size (Hypertrophy) • Perhaps up to 22% • This is due to the aerobic exercise putting stress on the slow twitch fibres (What type?) • Would give greater potential for aerobic energy production • (What effect would this have on the performance of footballers?)
Mitochondria • Aerobic exercise has been seen to provide an increase in size and number of mitochondria • 40-100% • Mitochondria are the basis of our aerobic output • (What effect would this have on players performance in the scenario described in the task?)
Oxidative enzymes • Oxidative Enzymes • It is suggested that Aerobic training increases the activity of oxidative enzymes • These break down food to release energy • So we would be able to produce more energy from our food • Couple this with the hypertrophy of our slow twitch muscles, and we can supply energy and perform for longer sustained periods • How would this benefit players?
Myoglobin • Myoglobin is the substance within the muscle that carries Oxygen to the Mitochondria • Aerobic training can increase myoglobin content by up to 80% • More Myoglobin means more Oxygen transport • This improves the efficiency of aerobic energy production.
Changes • All of these changes will mean that more Oxygen can be used by the body • This raises the anaerobic threshold, and means that the onset of fatigue is delayed • This would have some serious benefits for first team players. • Maximum Oxygen uptake is largely genetic, but can rise by up to 10% with training.
Hypertrophy • Training at high intensity, such as weight training, will produce hypertrophy of fast twitch fibres • This means that the muscle fibres become larger • The increase in size would cause greater strength and power • What benefits would this bring to Oxford United’s1st team squad?
Increase in levels of ATP and PC • Weight training will increase the amount of ATP-PC in our muscles • This means that the system will last slightly longer, and would be able to maintain a maximal sprint for 9 seconds instead of 8 seconds. • Explain how a player who had skipped the weight sessions Darren Patterson had added to the training schedule may be at a disadvantage in a 5-a-side training game. • Would DP notice?? • We need Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and Creatine Phosphate (PC) to work at high intensities • Such as maximal sprinting
Glycolytic capacity • Training at high intensities for over 60 seconds increases the glycolytic capacity of the muscle • This improves the muscles ability to break down glycogen (to provide energy) without Oxygen • Consequently a player can exercise for longer at a high intensity without feeling tired. • Would this be of benefit to DP’s strikers for examples?
Buffering capacity • By following an anaerobic training programme • The buffering capacity of the body increases significantly • This is the ability of the muscles to tolerate lactic acid • This means that the muscles can still function with a high level of acidity (Lactic Acid), and therefore keep working for longer at high intensities • What benefit would this provide for midfielders?
