Exercising regularly results in adaptations to the respiratory, circulatory and muscular systems. These adaptations allow the individual to perform better under additional stress. This document lists and explains the long term responses of exercising regularly.

This document gives an in-depth but to the point explanation of how energy systems work whilst exercising. It explains the production and breakdown of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the three different but integrated processes that work together to produce the required amount of energy needed for muscle contraction. These three systems are using creatine phosphate, using glycogen (anaerobic glycolysis) and using aerobic respiration (aerobic glycolysis lipolysis).

This document looks at thermoregulation and how it can impact exercise performance. It looks at how both hot conditions and cold conditions e.g. environmental temperatures such as in the Summer and Winter Olympics, can either increase or decrease an athletes performance.
