The Effect Of Exercise On The Body

To maintain effectiveness of muscle and bone activity, the effects of on the musculoskeletal system are the greatest benefits a person can ask for.

In this assignment I will be reviewing the different effects of exercise on the body system including the acute and long term using the pre-exercise, exercise and post-exercise physiological data which I collected based on interval and continuous training method. I will also be including the advantages and disadvantages of these, also the participants’ strengths and areas where they can improve on.

Heart rate is defined as the number of contractions the heart carries out in one minute. Blood pressure has two measurements: systolic blood pressure, or the pressure exerted on the artery walls during cardiac systole, and diastolic blood pressure, or the pressure exerted on the artery walls during cardiac diastole (American Heart Association, 2014). Blood pressure is measured with a sphygmomanometer in millimeters of mercury, or mmHg, whereas heart rate is measured using a variety of tools and is recorded in beats/minute.

It is the measurement of the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. A blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope is what are used to measure this. While taking you blood pressure two numbers are recorded; Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the higher number that refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart contracts and pumps blood through the body. Diastolic pressure is the lower number and refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart is at rest and is filling with blood. Having high blood pressure can increase the risk of coronary heart disease (i.e. heart attack, stroke).

The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes as the daily amount of exercise that meets the cardiovascular requirement for optimal health and for preventing premature death. This exercise can be completed in a variety of ways. For instance, 150 minutes per week at 30 minutes 5 days per week. In addition, the 30 minutes can be spread throughout the day and completed in three 10-minute intervals. This amount of time was chosen because it has been shown to be enough time to help keep the arteries flexible and help with controlling blood pressure.

The short term effects of exercise on your skeletal systems are demonstrated by changes within the joint. Exercise increases the production of synovial fluid which keeps joints lubricated and makes them supple. Synovial fluid production increases the range of movement available at the joints in the short term. Movement of joints stimulates the secretion of synovial fluid, this fluid becomes less viscous.

Blood pressure is defined as the force exerted by the blood against the inner walls of the blood vessels. Determined by the flow blood and resistance to that flow. It is expressed by systolic pressure over diastolic pressure.

The body uses complicated organ systems like the respiratory, integumentary, and circulatory systems in unison with each other to combat the physical burden that exercise puts on the body. The body has to work at a pace that it doesn’t in daily life, Organs have to generate reactions to maintain homoeostasis by managing your energy, body heat, and blood pressure levels to a higher extent than usual.

High blood pressure is a disease in which an individual's blood courses through their circulatory system at higher pressures than the norm of 120/ 80 mm Hg. High blood pressure is also known as hypertension and is a very common disease in the United States. According to Practical Nutrition, about 1 in 5 adult currently has high blood pressure (Wardlaw 391). Blood pressure is the measurement of force the blood pushing up against the walls of the arteries from the heart. The higher the pressure, the more strain the heart and arteries are working under. Blood pressure is measured using systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the force exerted in the vessels when the heart is contracting and blood is moving towards the vessels; a normal blood

Heart rate is expected to increase during exercise. The reason for this is that the muscles in the body are demanding more blood and, essentially, the heart must work harder in order to provide for the muscles’ needs. Athletes, who are more adapted to exercising environments have a lower maximum heart rate than individuals who do not exercise as frequently. In a study done between two groups of individuals – one containing only athletes and the other containing individuals who had performed any type of exercise in the previous 6 months – results showed that athletes had a lower heart rate when they performed exercise than non-athletes (Martinelli 2005). The reason that athletes have a lower maximum heart rate is because the heart can pump blood to the rest of the body more efficiently – in larger amounts – than it would in a non-athlete.

Blood pressure is measured in two ways, systolic and diastolic. Systolic is the number that is always first, so when your heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries and to the rest of your body, this force then creates pressure on the arteries and this is called systolic blood pressure.

Blood pressure is a force applied by blood that push against the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that send oxygenated blood to the heart and throughout the rest of the body. To calculate blood pressure, use a blood pressure machine which shows the two types of pressures, systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure happens when the heart is decreasing and diastolic pressure is the pressure the occurs when the heart expands. Systolic pressure is always over diastolic pressure and the average is 120/80 mmHg. (S. Jose, E-12) Blood pressure is measured in mmHg which stands for millimeter of mercury.

Blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by the blood against artery walls. Blood varies with heartbeat strength, age, blood volume, health and fitness. Blood pressure is measured as two numbers, e.g. 120/80 these numbers represent systolic and diastolic the big number is systolic which the blood pressure is during a heartbeat and the smaller number is diastolic which the blood pressure in-between heartbeats is. The numbers show pressure reading in mm of mercury.

This experiment test how different types of music affect your heart rate. So, what is heart rate? Heart rate is the speed of a number of heartbeats per unit of time, or beats per minute. Usually, humans have their heart rate range between 60 bpm and 90 bpm. Heart rate is determined or measured by finding the pulse in the body. You can find your pulse in your wrist, and the side of your neck. How the pulse works is that in each beat, the heart pumps blood in the blood vessels. As the blood travels, the blood vessels enlarge and this is known as a pulse.

Exercise is able to make our body change and be modified to certain intensity or a certain type of exercise. It affects the way we move, our temperature change, the health of our organs, movement of joints and the ability to push our heart to pump blood faster. Once we begin to exercise; the body has to respond to the change in intensity in order to maintain a constant internal environment (homeostasis). Acute effects of exercise affect our musculoskeletal system and the cardiovascular system. The musculoskeletal system is the grouping of the muscular and skeletal systems that work together and includes the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body. The cardiovascular system (or the circulatory system) is an organ system that
