1. LO4: Be able to assess the long-term effects of physical activity on the musculo-skeletal and cardio-respiratory systems
Mrs Allinson

2. Task
You will produce a report which discusses the long term effect of physical activity on the musculo-skeletal and cardio-respiratory systems
You will Record breathing rate, resting hear rate, training heart rate and time taken to return to resting heart rate. Record muscle size in arms and legs. All need to be done, before during and after training programme.
You will then devise a 6 week training programme and complete this and measure the results.
You will then explain the fitness tests you will use (same as usual, explain them, compare to normative data and put in what they got) BUT you will include what they got at the end of the 6 weeks training programme as well.

13. Ways to measure and record the long term effects of physical activity on the msuculo-skeltal and cardio-respiratory system
1. Having a suitable long term activity or training programme to bring about adaptations – must have progressive overload
2.Methods to measure the effects such as spirometry to measure lung function and capactity, cooper test to check fro improvements in aerobic capacity.
3. Recording the outcomes with regular testing of the heart rate, muscle size etc
