Aerobic adaptations
Cardiovascular
increase size of left ventricle
increased stroke volume
decreased resting/submax HR
increased maximal cardiac output (Q)
increase cross sectional area of blood vessels
increased capillarisation
increase HDL (good cholesterol)
increase blood volume
increased hemoglobin (oxygen carrying component of blood)
decreased systolic blood pressure
decreased blood lactate concentration
increased a-VO2 difference
Respiritory
Increased total lung volume
increased tidal volume
