Lactate accumulation
A long-term effect of exercise that reduces the pressure exerted on the blood vessel walls at rest and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
A short-term effect of exercise whereby the heart has to beat more quickly each minute in order to eject more blood around the body and meet the oxygen demands of exercise.

A long-term training effect which increases the size and strength of muscles so they are able to overcome greater forces.


A short-term effect of exercise as a result of prolonged high-intensity exercise with limited or no oxygen available for respiration. It can lead to muscle stiffness and cramping.
A long-term benefit of training, resulting in an increase in the component of the blood responsible for transporting oxygen to the working muscle for aerobic respiration.

A long-term effect of training that can result in a reduced risk of sprains and strains.


A short-term effect of exercise that results in an increase in the number of inhalations and exhalations per minute to increase oxygen availability for gaseous exchange.
A short-term effect of exercise that leads to a greater amount of blood ejected to the working muscle per minute, improving oxygen delivery for aerobic respiration.
A short-term effect of exercise that results in a greater amount of blood ejected to the working muscle per beat, improving oxygen delivery for aerobic respiration.
