A practical exploration of heart rate response to exercise and recovery

Long-term effects of exercise

This unit will explore the immediate and short term responses our bodies make to cope with the effects of exercise as well as the longer term adaptations it makes in response to training that enable us to cope better with exercise and improve performance.
