Musculoskeletal Short Term Effects of the Muscular System.






Body temperature increases due to the flow of blood inside the body.vessels come to the surface and are more visible in order to cool down you often see the face go red.

Micro tears may start to occur after exercise causing you to experience quite a bit of soreness for quite some time.

One of the most obvious short term effects of the Musculoskeletal system is the increase in muscle tone and efficiency over a short period of time you will see the decrease in the body's fat storage but during some exercise the body may rely on it's fat stores depending on the exercise.

Breathing is also a short term effect as breathing becomes harder as you exercise due to the fact the body cannot distribute that much oxygen in that amount of time.

During exercise your muscles will be in demand of more energy requiring glucose and oxygen to provide this energy glucose is a major source of energy for the body's cells, glucose in the muscular system create lactic acid with that lactic acid providing the body with more energy meaning the body tires quicker.

When the muscles get warmer they become much more flexible and are able to stretch more this is because pliability with in the muscles increase meaning the body performs at a better level than usual.

Long Term Effects Of The Muscular-skeletal System 

 

Hypertrophy


Hypertrophy is a muscle cell that increases in size by growing.

  • Over a period of 3-6 weeks of you're usaul exercise 3-4 time per week your muscles will begin to grow this makes the muscle become stronger allowing you to perform activities easier and much more efficiently. To maintain the strength annd body composistion you should keep this up. The training or exercise has to be resistance or weight training and causes microtears.

 

  • Micro tears cause soreness they are mini tears in the muscles that then rebuild on to the muscle making them stronger than before, it adds an additional layerwhen they grow back because there will be more fibres with makes the muscles bigger and stronger.

Synovial Fluid


Synovial Fluid is a fluid surrounding the joints that lubricates and nourishes certain parts of the joints.

  • The amount of Synovial fluid around the bone increases this is beneficial because its less likely to damage your system. the synovial fluidincrease the amount of movement your body can produce

Cartilage


Cartilage is a type of connective tissue in the body.

  • The amount of cartilage increases this happens because it means that it will take longer to wear away, meaning we can continue exercising for much longer, it also provides much more protection is takes longer to wear away

Tendon


Tendons are flexible but an inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone.

  • There is an increase in tendon strength this means you can use more force in each contraction and have less of a chance of casuing injury to your self. This helps us to exercise easier and make activities less stressful.

Effects of Exercise on the Muscularskeletal



Muscularskeletal


In today's lesson we investigated and tested the muscularskeletal systems and its different effects before and after training, we tested things such as the muscles elasticity these were the following results that we gathered from today's lesson on the muscularskeletal system.

The first test we did was a sit and reach test to see how flexible our muscles were to start off with afterwards we then went on to do some sprints then we also did short and long sprints here are the following results.

Sit and Reach

Nazer Olenga -

Before - 10 

During - 24

After - 16

Sprint Test

First - 14.91 

Second - 14.42

Third - 13.54

All of these results show that at the start of a training session the muscle is well prepared for training but as the the intensity increases during the training it becomes harder for the muscles to endure causing huge lack of oxygen.

Anerobics & Aerobics



Anerobics


Anerobic - Football


Football is an anerobic sport that uses the following componets withing anerobics ATP - PC, ATP - PC is a short burst of energy and power being released from players also the players must be able to have the capacity to recover quickly.

It is not used throughout the whole period of the match only the times where players will attempt to recover the ball or make an attack towards the opposing team not just that ATP - PC will also activate during the times where players will make a shot or when the keeper comes out.

It is ATP - PC because within football it is never constant walking around your always on the run chasing after the ball or attack, ATP - PC last up to 15 seconds this is because it requires phosohate creatine, phosphate creatine burns very fast while sprinting, which increase your speed and power for an extra boost till the end of the match or during the period of extra time they also use aerobic during the game as well. 

Energy requirements for the ATP - PC system it requires a intake of calories and food types these are the only energy requirements,this needs to be a balance of carbohydrates and proteins, this balanced out diet will prepare you for the hight instense energy burst the ATP - PC will produce with in your system.


Aerobic - Rowing



Rowing is an aerobic sport because as you row your muscles's demand for oxygen will begin to increase, when the oxygen starts to get used carbon dioxide will start to build up in your blood, the aerobic benifits of rowing are your body gets worked aerobically with in ay type of sport that reqiures your body to use a high amount of oxgyen to help your muscles function.

Changes that occur over time your body starts to adjust to the anerobic training and is potentially able to produces a higher amount of movement, rowing is good for you arebocially because you're body is forced to repeat the same amount of movements in doing so it builds momentum and increase your heart rate when training for a long period of time.


Boxing - Aerobic




The Aerobic energy system is also used in boxing this system will be used when your gliding around the ring A big part of boxing that is needed is endurance, endurance is the ability to remain active for a long period of time, for this to be possible you need to have a high amount of energy. Energy is produced by Oxygen and Glucose. You would also probably use the anaerobic energy system in boxing sometimes.

 
Boxers should eat plenty of carbohydrates and protein. Protein is need for the muscle repairs and muscle growth, if you dont get enough of the  protein your muscles will be sore and your performance levels will drop down 

.Protein shakes are great after a workout. As they help help you recover after your work out there good for the muscle.


100m Sprint



The Anaerobic system helps in supplying in the energy for activities requiring a large amount of energy lasting up to an average of 2 minutes this is for the trained athletes.The 400m race is know as a sprint as the change in intensity is really high from the point athletes get off 

The Anaerobic lactic system is in constant so that the human body is able to handle the high intensity exercise or activities but there's not enough oxygen to be transported round quick enough due to this a large amount of lactic acid builds up within the cells and blood. Getting rid of lactic acid is a much slower process than replacing the energy stores in the Anaerobic alactic system. it may potentially take more than an hour for the lactic acid levels to return to the level that they were before the exercise.


A light activity or exercise will increase the speed in which the lactic acid is removed the first 10 minutes of the activity reduce the levels in the lactic acid.

Long term effects of Cardiovascular & Respiratory System

Long term effects of Cardiovascular & Respiratory System & Muscular-Skeletal System




Cardiovascular System

During exercise the cardiovascular systems is called upon to assist the body in many ways, they assist by delivering oxygen to the hard working muscles,blood is then returned to the lungs to be re-oxygenated. 

Another long term effect of the cardiovascular system is the decrease in your resting heart rate it decreases because during the period of time the body adjusts to the exercise sedentary periods become much more easier for the heart to handle making it easier to pump more blood. 

When resting the stroke volume also tends to increase due to the training of the heart being able to pump a large quantity of blood with every beat through out the body.

Circulation also improves due to the demand of more oxygen during the period of exercise, the number of capillaries increase also existing capillaries open up wider. 

The heart also gets bigger and stronger during the period of time this is needed to support the level of blood your heart pumps out with less stress, also making it easier for your muscles to work with out stress as well.   


Respiratory System


The Respiratory System controls the breathing within the body it begins when you draw in air through your nose and mouth. air travels through your wind pipes into both of your lungs giving the lungs a sufficient amount of air to breath in and out.

The diaphragm is the muscle in the body the controls the  respiration contracts when you inhale, when the diaphragm relaxes your chest is forced to release carbon dioxide when you breath in.

During exercise your lungs will start to become exposed to a stronger rush of airflow aerobic exercises in particular expose your lungs to the stronger rush of airflow, aerobic exercise can help clear mucus with in your lungs, mucus build up with in your lungs can decrease the performance of your lungs causing bacterial infections.

During intense exercises the diaphragm becomes much stronger over a period of time making it's self capable of storing a larger amount of air.

Long term effects during long terms your body will begin to adapt to long term exercises by increasing its number of capillaries, capillaries are tiny blood vessels that pass down blood from the arteries into the veins the increase in capillaries in beneficial because when the body will begin to under go a demand of blood the more capillaries there are the more blood different parts of the body will receive.




Long Term Effects Of The Muscular-skeletal System 


- Muscular  Hypertrophy 
Muscle hypertrophy occurs through high chronic Anerobic training at a high intensity such as lifting weights.

Over a long period of weeks (3 - 5) your muscles increase size muscular hypertrophy occurs during the third week of training resistance training sessions it also helps in the increase of muscle size also making them more efficient.

Muscle tone is also beneficial because it makes you stronger over the period of time you've been training, the increase in strength is better because during training sessions you will start to find daily work outs much more easier.

Another long term effect is that muscles become capable to store larger amounts of glycogen for energy, glycogen is a substance stored in the body for later usage when it is needed, glycogen provides extra energy for the body when it is most needed.

Cardiovascular System

Cardiovascular System

The heart uses four valves to ensure that the blood flows in only one direction, healthy valves close and open in coordination of the action of your hearts atria and ventricles.

The vascular system can redistribute blood to parts of your body that are in immediate demand of blood and it can also avoid parts of the body that are not in that much demand of blood. 

During my investigation of my heart and my breathing rate, I measured my resting heart rate which was 68 as well as my resting breathing rate which was 28 after that we then went on to play some sports for a couple of minutes to see what would happen after I moved my body around a lot I took my heart rate measurements again but this time I 80 and my breathing rate was 34.

My measurements for my heart rate increased because my body was under constant movement and my body was in demand of more oxygen also my breathing rate increased because my muscles where performing heavy work, when receptors in the brain stem become aware of this they will send signals to the lungs and associated muscles to increase the rate of breathing.

During the exercise our blood pressures increased because of the demand of blood in the muscles without the right amount of blood in the body or the muscles they may seize to function properly.

Cardiovascular System

The Short Term Effects On The Cardiovascular System


In today's lesson we looked at the short term effects of the Cardiovascular system and how the changes effected your body also how it made you feel after the chosen exercise you did, we also looked at the effects it had on your heart. 

Short Term Effects : 

- One of the short term effects of the Cardiovascular system is the increase of your heart rate during exercise also the increase of heart rate before exercise, this increase is normal it caused by a physiological response from the body, this increase is caused due to the demand of body wanting more oxygen and carbon dioxide and the around the body also wanting to remove carbon dioxide.

- Another one is the amount of blood pumped around the body increases, due to the cause of so much movement of the body during strenuous exercise.

- Oxygenated blood gets pumped around the body during, exercise quickly and carbon dioxide-rich blood gets pumped back into your lungs for exhalation .

- Cardiac Output, the amount of blood the heart pumps out in a minute, during exercise cardiac out put increases depending on the exercise also due to an increase in your heart rate.

- The respiratory System controls the breathing within the body it begins when you draw in air through your nose and mouth. air travels through your wind pipes into both of your lungs giving the lungs a sufficient amount of air to breath in and out.

- During exercise your lungs will start to become exposed to a stronger rush of airflow aerobic exercises in particular expose your lungs to the stronger rush of airflow, aerobic exercise can help clear mucus with in your lungs, mucus build up with in your lungs can decrease the performance of your lungs causing bacterial infections.
