When we think of exercise and the changes that happen during or after we work out we can split these in to SHORT TERM and LONG TERM responses to exercise.
Short Term refers to things that happen in your body during or straight after exercise
Long Term refers to things that change in your body after a long period of time (like a 6 week training programme)
Short Term responses to exercise can be split in to 3 different areas
Heart -
Lungs -
