ACUTE RESPONSE TO EXERCISE (15 MARKS)
1. Define the term acute response to exercise. (1 mark)
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________

2. Whenever an individual engages in exercise, the body responds physiologically to
meet the increased energy demands of the activity. In the table below, list and
explain one physiological response of the skeletal system and two physiological
responses for each of the other three systems of the body studied this year.

 CHRONIC ADAPTATIONS TO EXERCISE (21 marks)
1. Define the term chronic adaptations to exercise. (1 mark)
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________

2. Chronic adaptations to our physiology occur through long-term participation in a
training program. They occur at both the system and tissue level and have an effect
on both our aerobic and anaerobic capacities. The combined effect of all chronic
adaptations is known as the training effect. (20 marks)
