1. BMR 3202 EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM By Vanessa Wickham Satrupa Singh

2. EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM Immediate Effects  Increase in oxygen demand in the muscles  Heat generation Long Term Effects  Increased growth and strength of the muscles and tendons  Increased growth of capillaries around the muscles  Increased ligament and bone strength  Increased range of motion

3. The amount of oxygen consumed by the muscles during exercise increases x70 above resting levels With regular exercise, the muscles (& tendons) get bigger, allowing them to contract with greater strength Increased numbers of capillaries grow around the muscles, so more blood can reach them with oxygen & nutrients Muscles become more efficient at using oxygen & can work harder for longer without tiring Regular exercise also strengthens the ligaments around a joint, making the joint stronger & more stable

4. EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM  Hypertrophy and Increased Strength  Increased in Tendon Strength  Increased Myoglobin and Mitochondria  Increased Tolerance to Lactic Acid  Increased storage of glycogen and fat  Increased muscle strength

5. EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE SKELETAL SYSTEM  Increased in Bone Calcium  Increased Stretch of Ligaments  Increased Thickness of Hayline Cartilage  Increased Production of Synovial Fluid
