The cardio respiratory system consists of the lungs, heart, blood vessels, and the blood. In short, the cardio respiratory system is responsible for the uptake of oxygen from the air we breathe, for the transport of oxygen around the body, and for the removal of waste products from muscles and other organs. The beneficial changes within the circulatory system from exercise include making the heart stronger, providing more oxygen throughout the body for improved functioning and helping people to react better to stress while gaining physical benefits (long term effect). The musculoskeletal system is the part of the body composed of muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Basically it is everything needed for your body to actually move and is the basis for body mechanics. There will be an increased blood flow around our veins and arteries which is important to feed our muscles with oxygen rich blood. This is done by a elevated heart rate, our heart rate will increase the faster and harder that we work (long term effect). James Clark Cardiac hypertrophy is a thickening of the heart muscle (myocardium) which results in a decrease in size of the chamber of the heart, including the left and right ventricles. A common cause of cardiac hypertrophy is high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart valve stenosis. Prolonged aerobic exercise training may also increase stroke volume, which frequently results in a lower (resting) heart rate. Reduced heart rate prolongs ventricular diastole (filling), increasing end-diastolic volume, and ultimately allowing more blood to be ejected. Vital capacity is especially important during intense physical activity such as exercise, sport, rigorous work or running away from a dangerous situation. Such demands require more air and oxygen in the lungs to fuel body organs, especially those of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
