Cardiovascular Responses and Adaptions
The function of the cardiovascular system is to provide the body with oxygen and nutrient and to remove carbon dioxide from the body and metabolic waste. The cardiovascular system responds to the increase in exercise. The cardiovascular responses that should have occurred after 8 weeks of exercise, would include, an increase in size of the left ventricle, increase in stroke volume, increased cardiac output, increase in contractility, and an increase in blood flow to myocardium. The muscular walls of the heart thicken especially in the left ventricle, which leads to a more powerful contraction. The increased thickness of the walls of the heart also increases contractility, which causes an increased stroke
