Regular exercise provides several health benefits by improving the cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular systems. The cardiovascular system becomes more efficient as the heart increases in size and the number of capillaries. Exercise also lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. The respiratory system adapts to work harder by increasing breathing depth and heart rate to supply more oxygen to active muscles. Muscles become larger, stronger, and better defined through resistance training and tone. Overall, regular exercise enhances the body's ability to function and delays the natural aging process.

REGULAR EXERCISE
- done at least three times a week
effectively increases performance in a
specific exercise or sports type. It is
generally beneficial to the general
health and everyday life.
Example:
resistance training increases strength

3. 1. EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON THE
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
 Increase in heart size – Muscles of the heart
develop with regular exercise. It increases the
size of the heart along with the strengthening of
the heart. The heart becomes efficient in doing
its job.

4.  The decrease in cholesterol level - Regular exercise reduces the
level of cholesterol in the blood (blood pressure is link with
cholesterol in the blood). Exercise decreases the low density
protein lipoprotein (LDL) and increases the high-density
lipoprotein (HDL). It means that exercise decreases the bad
cholesterol (LDL) and increase Good cholesterol (HDL).

5.  Faster adaptation to workload - Due to the
regular exercise, the heart can adapt to working
load quickly, such as adjusting the heart
according to body needs.

6.  Increase in number and efficiency of
capillaries – with regular exercise; it enhances
capillaries' efficiency with muscle mass
development. Unused and new capillaries
become effective and nourish the different
cells efficiently.

7.  Enhance the working capacity of the heart and
lungs:
 Regular exercise improves the cardio-vascular
system; thus, the blood travels faster through
the blood vessels, and increased circulation of
blood makes healing faster.

8.  More blood flows going to the muscles, heart,
and skin, reducing white blood cells in the
kidneys and abdomen.
 Blood pressure increases during exercise
because there is more blood flowing in the
blood vessels.

9. 2. EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
 Increase of heart rate during exercise. There
is rapid breathing - this makes sure that more
oxygen is absorbed into the blood and
removes more carbon dioxide.

10.  Respiration rate drops: When beginning an
exercise routine, the respiration rate also
increases. However, when doing exercise daily,
the rate of respiration slows down compared
to a person resting.

11.  Persistence: regular exercise increases the
will power of an individual. Specific exercises
for the lungs, such as aerobic exercises,
increase the will power of the individual.

12. In Summary:
The heart and lungs work in synergy to
get oxygen to the working muscles and remove
carbon dioxide from the body.
During exercises, the muscle needs a
more significant amount of oxygen to let it
contract while generating more carbon dioxide
to be excreted as toxins. To be able to increase
the demand by the muscles, the following
happens:
 Breathing depth and percentage increase –
more oxygen goes into the lungs and
removes a tremendous amount of carbon
dioxide.

13. The graph shows that as an individual goes
from rest to exercise, their wave level goes up.

14.  Heart rate escalate – this increases the rate
of oxygen transported to the working muscle
tissue, and carbon dioxide is carried from the
active muscles to the lungs excreting it
through the blood.

15. The graph shows that:
 The persons' resting heart rate is about 60
bpm (heart rate).
 At 8 minutes, just before starting exercise,
their pulse rate increases – this is called the
anticipatory increase in pulse rate, which
happens when a person starts to think of
participating in physical activity.
 At 10 minutes, the person begins to
participate in an exercise, and a steep increase
in heart rate is noticeable, which comes to
145 bpm at 13 minutes.
 During exercise, the heart rate remains high.
 When a person stops exercising, the heart rate
decreases.

16. 3. EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON MUSCULAR SYSTEM
 Size and shape of muscle changes: constant
training transforms the shape and size of
muscle tissue. Cells of the muscles become
big that makes it change in size and shape.

17.  Proper body posture: regular exercise
improves posture by making the muscles
strong. Exercise improves postural
deformities.
 Food storage increases: enhances the body's
capacity to store food by participating in
regular exercises. So that food is readily
utilized when needed.

18.  Toned muscles: regular exercise improves
muscle definition. That means muscles
become firm and toned.

19.  Enhances movement of muscles: The
movement of muscles becomes efficient
and smooth. The movement during different
activities has become attractive.
 Change in connective tissues: the
connective tissue becomes strong. These
tissues can withstand the stress of
strenuous activity.

20.  AGING is the stage of becoming older. It
illustrates the accumulation of changes in a
person over time. Aging in humans refers to a
complex process of physical, psychological, and
social changes.

21. Role of regular exercise on the aging process
Regular exercise keeps our body livelier,
fitter, and better condition, thus delaying the
aging processes.
 Exercise improves the resilience of the lungs
and chest walls, develops strong muscles, and
increase muscle size by increasing the Slow
Twitch Fibers—these slow down aging.
 The body composition changes due to
exercise by reducing the body's fat content,
thus slowing down the aging process. (the
slimmer you are, the younger you look)
 Exercises increase flexibility by strengthening
the musculoskeletal systems, thereby
preventing joints' bickering—these slow the
aging process.
