Best Answer

when you exercise, your muscles get bigger and stronger. if you lay off the exercise, then your muscles get smaller and weaker.

wrong

That is a silly answer.

When you exercise your muscle tone increases. This is due to the muscles tearing during exercise, the muscles then heal and this leads to a build in your muscle tone. This however happens whilst you are resting not when you are exercising. This happens due to the muscles taking knocks during exercise due to the amount of pressure and tension put on the muscles when. This makes the muscle pick up slight knocks. Once healed, they come back bigger and stronger so that the muscle can cope with that amount of pressure and tension put on it before for another time. The tendons will also get stronger as they are being active. The voluntary muscles will begin to function more efficiently and function at greater ease with regular exercise. This is because the brains reaction time will increase if it is regularly used.

How is the respiratory system affected by exercise in the short term?

The respiratory system is affected by exercise because when doing exercise the muscles need more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide so the heart has to work quicker and you need to breathe faster and deeper to let the carbon dioxide exit quicker and the oxygen enter and be pumped around quicker.
