The effects of exercise on the muscular system Blood Flow • Short Term – This increases due to an increase in the demand of oxygen by the exercising muscles. Blood flow Waste Hypertrophy products Effects Micro tears Body Temp Demand of fuel Hover the diagram for information on that part
The effects of exercise on the muscular system Hypertrophy • Long Term – The muscle tissues can increase in size (and therefore strength) through resistance/strength training.

The effects of exercise on the muscular system Micro tears Blood flow Waste Hypertrophy products Effects • Short Term – strenuous exercise can cause small micro tears of the muscle tissue which can cause muscle soreness a few hours later or the next day. This is sometimes referred to as DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Micro tears Body Temp Demand of fuel Hover the diagram for information on that part
The effects of exercise on the muscular system Demand of Fuel • Short Term – The demand for fuel increases during exercise because the muscles need energy to contract. Blood flow Waste Hypertrophy products Effects Micro tears Body Temp Demand of fuel Hover the diagram for information on that part
The effects of exercise on the muscular system Body Temperature • Short term – The body temperature increases because the muscles generate heat when contracting. Blood flow Waste Hypertrophy products Effects Micro tears Body Temp Demand of fuel Hover the diagram for information on that part
The effects of exercise on the muscular system Waste products • Short Term – As the muscles contract they produce waste products (carbon dioxide and lactic acid) which need to be removed.
