The Long Term Effects of Exercise on the Cardiorespiratory System

Watch this Prezi in preparation for the lessons this week:

Coursework to Complete and How to Improve

You should have 3 posts that should be published so that I can mark them over 1/2 term:

The Short Term Effects of Exercise on the Musculoskeletal System

The Short Term Effects of Exercise on the Cardiorespiratory System

The Long Term Effects of Exercise on the Musculoskeletal System

 

If you have completed these already, you may have only achieved a PASS.

What can I do to get a MERIT?

• Explain each effect in more detail
• Complete your own research on the effects and put into your own words
• Link the effects and explain how one effect leads to another
• Add pictures of the effects
• Find videos on YouTube that explain the effects and add noted underneath the videos
• Use www.thinglink.com to tag pictures with the effects, videos and articles

 

Here is an example of a thinglink that I created. You can easily create the same and can sign in to the website through twitter:

 

 

For lots of videos on the effects of exercise, click here (you will have to watch a few and decide which are best to embed in your blog). It is important that you don't just add the video but also you thoughts and details of the video underneath.

Work for Wednesday 29th January

You should start a new post entitled 'The long-term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system' and write up the notes from the lesson on Monday (adding your own explanations). I have included the Prezi from the lesson to help you with this.

Firstly have a go at this quiz:
 

 

The Long Term Effects of Exercise on the Musculoskeletal System

Watch the Prezi below:

Topic A.2 Short-term effects of exercise on the cardiorespiratory system:

 

Work for Wednesday 22nd January

• Start a new post entitled 'The Short-Term Effects of Exercise on the Cardiorespiratory System'
• Use the sub-headings (4 of them) that I gave you in the lesson on Monday
• Copy the descriptions that you added to each heading on Monday

If you complete this, take a look at the 'merit' level effects that are in the rectangles on the prezi. Use these to find more information about the other effects. Remember, you work will need to be in your own words and very detailed to attain a merit.

Unit 4: The Sports Performer in Action

You are a fitness instructor and have been inundated since the start of the year by people wanting to 'get fit' as a new year's resolution. You have decided to create a blog which details the short-term and long term effects of exercise on the body.


Work for Wednesday 15th January

• Start a new post entitled 'The Short-Term Effects of Exercise on the Musculoskeletal System'
• Use the sub-headings (5 of them) that I gave you in the lesson on Monday
• Copy the descriptions that you added to each heading on Monday

Extension Work: 
The descriptions that you copy will probably be enough to attain a pass in this assignment. To get your work to a merit, you will need to explain each effect in more detail. Use the links that I have provided at the end of the Prezi to get more information (or do your own research). Use pictures and video clips to explain the effects further still.

Unit 4: The Sports Performer in Action

Unit introduction 

A month ago you could barely run two miles; your heart would be racing and your
leg muscles would be sore. Now, after running four times a week, a three-mile run is
no sweat. So what's going on inside your body?

Anyone who has exercised regularly has experienced the thrill of improving. We
improve because we train. But how exactly does your body adapt to training? In what
way do your muscles change? What happens to your heart? Why doesn't it beat as
fast when you're ‘in shape’?

When a person exercises regularly, the body undergoes several short-term effects,
such as increased breathing and heart rate. However, as their training progresses
they’ll start to notice that the short-term effects first observed change and they
develop different long-term adaptations, such as a slower heart rate than before and
a more controlled and easier breathing rate when they exercise. But why do these
changes take place? What causes the change in physiological responses over a period
of time? This unit will look at the training effects that occur when a person regularly
participates in sport and physical activity over a given period of time.

For learning aim A, you’ll look at the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems
and how they function normally (before a training programme, taking part in
exercise/sport regularly) and how they can function as a result of taking part in
training/exercise/sport over a length of time.

For learning aim B, you’ll look at the energy systems for different sporting activities.
So, if a performer needs energy quickly, they’ll rely on energy already stored within
the body. For a longer-term period of sport or exercise the body struggles to store a
lot of energy, but it can make energy from resources inside and outside the body. By
understanding how your body works and how it can be trained, as a sports performer
or as a coach, you can help to make the necessary adaptations in order to produce
improved sports performance.

Knowledge of the physiology of the body is useful for many careers in sport including
roles in the fitness industry, which involve giving advice on training and lifestyle to
clients.

Watch the prezi below to learn a little about the short term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system (the muscles, bones and joints)
