Increasing the heart rate
which increases

decrees in blood viscosity
meaning it will follow more readily through the vessels
transporting O2 to the working muscles quicker
helping to delay OBLA
Greater strength of contractions
due to improved elasticity of muscle fibres
faster speed of contractions
due to increased speed of nerve transmissions to the muscle fibres
faster speed of contractions and relaxation of the muscle fibres
due to an increase in muscle temperature
reduced risk of injury
due to an increase in muscle elasticity
an increase in coordination between antagonistic pairs
due to a reduction in muscle viscosity
