2.2.13

Describe the cardiovascular adaptations resulting from endurance exercise training.

Increased left ventricular volume results in an increased stroke volume and a lower resting heart rate (max heart rate is actually unchanged it just required a higher intensity workout for longer time periods). More capillaries are present in trained individuals so blood can more efficiently supply muscles with oxygen. There is also an increase in the aterio-venous oxygen difference.
