Introduction

Exercise training puts demands on human physiological systems, in order to maintain homeostasis.
While exercising homeostasis is endangered by: the increased amount of O2 and nutrients demand; the need to get rid of CO2 and metabolic waste products; rising body temperature; acid imbalance, and by varying hormone levels.

Acute Adaptations to Exercise

Cardiovascular Responses

All the cardiovascular system components, heart, blood vessels and blood, are involved in the immediate response of the cardiovascular system to physical stress. During exercise, the cardiovascular response is largely direclyt proportional to the oxygen consumption of skeletal muscles.
