As soon as you begin to exercise changes begin to happen within your body. Body systems work together‚ to make sure that you have enough energy to perform. Body systems respond both in the Short and Long-term in response to exercise. It is important to understand the changes that happen to the body as a result of physical activity. You will understand the: Muscoskeletal‚ Cardiovascular and Respiratory responses to exercise through this unit As soon as you begin to exercise changes begin to happen
