Question

Long term effects of exercise on our body include-
Increased pulmonary dilation
Decreased resting heart rate
Increased tidal volume
Increased heart rate
Decreased tidal volume

• A. (A), (B) and (E) only
• B. (A), (B) and (D) only
• C. (A), (C) and (D) only
• D. (A), (C) and (E) only

Hint:

Long-term exercise not only improves cardiovascular health but also enhances lung capacity and efficiency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Long-term exercise yields the following bodily effects:

• Increased pulmonary dilation (A), optimizing oxygen transfer to the blood and carbon dioxide removal.
• Reduced resting heart rate (B), indicating enhanced cardiovascular efficiency.
• Elevated tidal volume (E), leading to a larger volume of air remaining in the lungs after forced exhalation, which boosts oxygen exchange and aerobic capacity during exercise.
