LONG-TERM ADAPTATIONS TO EXERCISE ON THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
What adaptions occur as a result of training?
-Musculoskeletal.
-Mobility training increases STRENGTH of articulation cartilage and ligaments.
What types of training do we focus on?
-Aerobic training which will benefit sprinters.
-Anaerobic training which will benefit marathon running.
What adaptions take place during anaerobic training?
-Increased muscle mass
-Increased cross-sectional fibre size
-Increased number of fast twitch muscle fibres
-Increased strength
-Increased speed of muscle contractions
-Increased bone density
-Increased creatine phosphate and glycogen stores
-Thickening of tendons
-Increased glycogen stores
-Capilliarisation
What adaptions take place during aerobic training?
-Increased efficiency of slow twitch muscle fibres
-Increased bone density
-Increased force production from muscles
-Thickening and strengthening of tendons
-Increased myoglobin
-Increased glycogen stores
-Capillarisation
What adaptions occur in the cardiorespiratory system?
-Bardycardia
-Cardiac hypertrophy
-Increased stroke volume
-Increased lung volume
-Increased myoglobin content
-Increased capilliarisation
