Effects Of Exercise in Differents Body Systems Cardiorespiratory System - The vital capacity of the lungs can be increased though regular aerobic exercise. This makes the oxygen exchange system more efficient (Pangrazi‚ et al. 1997. p.322). Circulatory System - Heart rate‚ stroke volume‚ cardiac output‚ and blood pressure increase significantly during resistance exercise. The blood pressure response increases nonlinearly with the magnitude of active muscle mass and is higher during the eccentric
