Physiological systems adaptions to sustain exercise performance
Various human physiological systems adapt to maintain homeostasis or the inner balance of the body during exercise. During exercise, there is an increased demand for nutrients and oxygen, and there is a need to get rid of metabolic waste and carbon dioxide. Exercise leads to a rise in body temperature, hormonal and acid imbalance, hence the need for homeostasis. To better understand how physiological systems adapt to sustain exercise performance, this essay will analyse Kipchoge performance in Marathons. A marathon is a race that requires one to master sustained performance over time. Studies show Kipchoge’s effort to improve some physiological aspects is a key player in sustained performance. For instance, fatigue resistance muscles, strong heart and lungs, and a diet that ensures enough energy supply and fluid balance.
The other aspect is the ability of muscles to develop fatigue resistance through exercise. Regular training makes the skeletal muscle easily adapt
