         <title>Increased blood supply </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When you exercise there is a greater demand for oxygen at the working muscles. Oxygen is delivered by the blood, that is why there is an increase in blood flow, this is done through capillary dilation. The blood supply increases as the brain detects increased toxins(carbon dioxide and lactic acid) in the blood stream. <br><strong>A sporting example would be a a marathon runner. They will be working hard so they will need more oxygen.</strong></div>]]></description>

         <title>Increase in muscle pliability</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When we say pliability we mean how stretchy the muscles are. When you exercise your muscles warm, this then increases the pliability of the muscles. when muscles are more pliable there is a decrease in the chance of an injury occurring.<strong> A sporting example would be in gymnastics, they need their muscles to be as stretchy  as possible so they can perform their moves to a high standard.  </strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>when you move your joints there is an increase in the production of synovial fluid. The synovial fluid becomes less viscous and the range of movement increases. <br> <strong>Sporting Example <br>In badminton they will need a good range of movement so they can reach a shot  if it goes over their head.</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>When you exercise there is stress placed on your muscles. This leads to tiny tears in your muscle fibers.</div><div>The tears will cause swelling in your muscle, this creates pressure on the nerve endings as well as pain.<br>Hypertrophy will only happen if the body gets the correct nutrition and rest to repair the micro tears.</div><div>Repair of the tears will make the muscle a little bit stronger than it was before. <strong>A sporting example would be a rugby player using weights to improve his upper body strength. He could do some bicep curls.</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is an anaerobic process, this means that it doesn’t require oxygen and therefore isn’t sustainable over a long period of time.</div><div>Therefore it can only be used for exercise up to 2-3 minutes</div><div>The way the lactic acid system works is by our body breaking down glucose or glycogen to generate ATP through a process called Anaerobic glycolysis. If oxygen isn’t present the body will also produce lactic acid in the process</div><div>1 molecule of glucose will produce 2 molecules of ATP</div><div>1 molecule of glycogen will produce 3 molecules of ATP</div><div>Glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver</div><div>Lactic acid gathers and diffuses into the tissue fluid and blood.</div><div>If this fluid isn’t removed(by the circulatory system) it will build up and affect muscle contractions. It will cause the muscles to fatigue and cramp.This then makes muscles feel heavy and tired, which affects an athlete's performance.&nbsp;</div><div>The lactic acid energy system would be used in events where you work anaerobically. <strong>For example in a game of football when you are sprinting to get to the ball.&nbsp;</strong></div>]]></description>
