Cardiovascular Adaptations to Exercise Muscle tissue adapts to the demands placed upon it - on this page you'll learn what types of training produce the most significant adaptations in the muscles of the heart and blood vessels Aerobic fitness, anaerobic fitness, and muscular endurance training place larger demands on the heart than any other type of training. Over time these demands result in adaptations to the cardiovascular system such as: Physiological Adaptation Heart Size The muscular walls of the heart increase in thickness, particularly in the left ventricle, providing a more powerful contraction. The left ventricles internal dimensions increase as a result of increased ventricular filling. Stroke Volume (SV) Resting Heart Rate (RHR) Cardiac Output (Q) Blood Pressure (BP) The increase in size of the heart enables the left ventricle to stretch more and thus fill with more blood. The increase in muscle wall thickness also increases the contractility resulting in increased stroke volume at rest and during exercise, increasing blood supply to the body. As cardiac output at rest remains constant the increase in stroke volume is accompanied by a corresponding decrease in heart rate. Cardiac output increases significantly during maximal exercise effort due to the increase in SV. This results in greater oxygen supply, waste removal and hence improved endurance performance. People with blood pressure in the ‘normal’ ranges experience little change in BP at rest or with exercise; however hypertensive people find that their
