long and short term effects of physical activity on the cardiovascular system

long term effects

short term effects

how a warm up helps the cardiovascular system

increases stroke volume

increase cardiac output

increase in heart rate

related to the increase increases in stroke volume and hart rate

The increase linked to the intensity of the exercise: the harder we work the grater the rise

then the stroke volume is increased

this results in increasing the cardiac output

which increases venous return

and the respiratory and muscles pumps are activated

helps to increase the heart rate

resting heart rate is reduced (resting cardiac output remains the same)

increasing the exercising stroke volume

maximal cardiac output is increased (as the heart chambers increase in size maximum heart rate remains the same)

resting hart rate (BPM)

max cardiac output (l/min)

stroke volume (ml)
