The Effects of Exercise GCSE PE Paper 1 topic

The video tutorial explores the effects of exercise on the body, categorized into immediate, short-term, and long-term effects. Immediate effects include increased heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. Short-term effects, occurring up to 36 hours post-exercise, include fatigue, lightheadedness, and DOMS. Long-term effects, resulting from consistent training, include a lower resting heart rate, improved body shape, and cardiac hypertrophy. The video emphasizes the importance of regular exercise for achieving these benefits.

What are the three main categories of exercise effects discussed in the video?

• Immediate, short-term, and long-term effects

• Physical, mental, and emotional effects

• Short-term, medium-term, and long-term effects

• Immediate, delayed, and permanent effects

Which of the following is an immediate effect of exercise?

• Increased flexibility

• Increased body temperature

• Muscle growth

• Improved endurance

Why does the breathing rate increase immediately during exercise?

• To expel carbon dioxide and intake more oxygen

• To improve mental focus

• To increase muscle strength

• To reduce body temperature

What is a common short-term effect experienced after intense exercise?

• Improved cardiovascular health

• Increased muscle mass

• Enhanced flexibility

• Fatigue and tiredness

What does DOMS stand for in the context of exercise?

• Delayed Onset of Mental Stress

• Direct Onset of Muscle Stiffness

• Direct Onset of Muscle Strength

• Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness

What is a long-term effect of regular exercise on the heart?

• Cardiac hypertrophy

• Decreased muscle mass

• Reduced flexibility

• Increased heart rate

How does regular exercise affect resting heart rate over time?

• Causes irregular heartbeats

• Has no effect

• Decreases it

• Increases it significantly

What is the term used to describe the increase in heart size due to long-term exercise?

• Muscle hypertrophy

• Muscle atrophy

• Cardiac hypertrophy

• Cardiac atrophy

Which of the following is NOT a long-term effect of exercise?

• Immediate sweating

• Increased muscle strength

• Body shape changes

• Improved cardiovascular fitness

What is necessary to achieve long-term benefits from exercise?

• Training once a month

• Consistent training over weeks and years

• Avoiding rest days

• Immediate intense workouts
