Document Summary
The cardiovascular system is important in the regulation of blood ph. It enables the body to keep the ph at the appropriate levels. Contractions are initiated from not only a neuromuscular prospective, but also for the purpose of exercise (actin-myosin complex) Adaptation: what are the actual changes that are going to occur from the training, energy. There are many different types of energy: wind can be transformed into electrical energy. Nuclear ssion involves the collision of different atoms to produce energy: what we"re interested in, is transforming food energy (carbohydrates, fats, etc. ) into energy that we can actually use to do work. To be a successful marathon runner you have to be able to generate relatively high energy outputs for a long period of time. Focusing on the musculature, the marathon runner is very thin and relatively short. The 400m runner has a distinctly different body type than the marathon.
