EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

By Vanessa WickhamSatrupa Singh

EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEMImmediate Effects

Increase in oxygen demand in the muscles

Heat generation

Long Term EffectsIncreased growth and

strength of the muscles and tendons

Increased growth of capillaries around the muscles

Increased ligament and bone strength

Increased range of motion

• The amount of oxygen consumed by the muscles during exercise increases x70 above resting levels

• With regular exercise, the muscles (& tendons) get bigger, allowing them to contract with greater strength

• Increased numbers of capillaries grow around the muscles, so more blood can reach them with oxygen & nutrients

• Muscles become more efficient at using oxygen & can work harder for longer without tiring

• Regular exercise also strengthens the ligaments around a joint, making the joint stronger & more stable

EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Hypertrophy and Increased Strength

Increased in Tendon Strength

Increased Myoglobin and Mitochondria

Increased Tolerance to Lactic Acid

Increased storage of glycogen and fat

Increased muscle strength

EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

Increased in Bone Calcium

Increased Stretch of Ligaments

Increased Thickness of Hayline Cartilage

Increased Production of Synovial Fluid
