• Cardiac hypertrophy- This is when the heart increases in size and volume‚ the wall of the left ventricle will get thicker with the help of constant exercise‚ this leads to an increased force of contraction. This will allow the heart to pump out a larger amount of blood with each pump‚ therefore a more efficient heart as it will not have to beat as many times as an untrained heart. • Increase in stroke volume and cardiac output- Stroke volume is defined as the amount of blood the heart is able to
