refers to the best functioning level of fitness a
Marine can attain. At the optimal level, the body
of the Marine functions as efficiently as it can. Identify six adaptations of the heart and blood
vessels in response to exercise. - -(1) The
size of the heart increases making it able to
pump more blood with more force.
Which factor measures a Marine's optimal
fitness? - -Optimal fitness can be (2) The amount of blood the heart pumps with
measured by accomplishing missions without each contraction increases. This is due to a
undue fatigue. combination of an increase in the heart size and
a decrease in pulse that allows more blood to
enter the heart between beats.
