Introduction
• During rigorous physical activity, such as exercise, the body is
subjected to a lot of stress. However, this stress is beneficial,
and can actually help the body remain healthy.
• Exercise pumps the heart and lungs into prompt action,
which is necessary as these vital organs need to work harder
to cope with the increased demand of oxygen in the body.
• It provides many benefits that help improve the pulmonary
function as well. While some of these benefits are felt
immediately, some take a while to appear.
• Exercise improves the capacity of the lungs to draw in more
oxygen from the air, and provides a host of other benefits as
well.
Respiratory System
• Respiratory system controls your
breathing and begins when you draw in
air through your nose or mouth.
• The air travels through your windpipe
into both of your lungs, where small air
sacs capture oxygen and distribute it in
your bloodstream through small blood
vessels called capillaries.
• Your diaphragm is the muscle the
controls respiration and contracts when
you inhale.
• Your diaphragm then relaxes, collapses
your chest and forces out carbon dioxide
when you exhale.
Quicker and deeper breathing respiratory
system
• The harder we exercise the deeper and
quicker we will breathe
• Increase in breathing means more oxygen to
the muscles
• If we cant and there does come a point it
results in cramp
• High red blood cell count, therefore high
haemoglobin will allow athletes to cope better
Respiratory adaptations to training
• Respiratory system is responsible receiving
Oxygen into the body and dealing with waste
products.
• There is an increase in lung volume
• Vital capacity is increased (max inspiration)
• Tidal volume increases during exercise
• Respiratory muscles get stronger become more
efficient lungs get bigger.
• Pulmonary diffusion becomes more efficient
more O2 can enter the blood.
