Resting and Exercise State of the Respiratory, Cardiovascular, and Neuromuscular Systems
Since you are the fitness expert, imagine your friend Megan, a 27-year-old adult female, has come to you for advice and information. She has never exercised regularly before, but as she gets older, she wants to take charge of her health and begin a regular exercise program. She has decided to start jogging three days a week and wants to prepare to participate in her first 5K race in three months. She is interested in knowing how her respiratory, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular systems will react at rest and during exercise.
Choose one of these systems to explain to your friend Megan, and compare its functioning at the resting and exercise state. In your response, address the following:
Identify the system you chose
Explain the major organs that make up this system
Compare how this system functions at rest to how it functions during exercise. Parameters to consider:
Respiratory System:
Tidal Volume
Minute ventilation
Depth and rate of ventilations
Gas exchange in the tissues
Ventilation limits
Cardiovascular System:
Heart rate
Stroke volume
Cardiac output
Blood pressure
VO2 Max
Neuromuscular System:
Chemical and mechanical action of the muscles
Oxygen uptake
Removal of waste products
Motor unit recruitment
Force of contraction
Explain two chronic adaptations in the system you chose that occurs with exercise.
