Anatomy and Physiology: Exercise Benefit

(This picture was taken from: http://www.metrolic.com/american-diet-2816/.)




Based on this week's labs (muscle fatigue/exercise heart rate), it is harder for a fit person to get exercise benefit because it will take more for them to reach their limit.  A person who is not as fit can exercise less or exercise less rigorously and get more exercise benefit, it is easier for them to build up their muscles or their energy.  Only when a person's muscles is pushed a little beyond their limit, it will train them to take more.  A less fit person can do less to get exercise benefit while a fit person needs to do more to get the same amount of exercise benefit.
