Cardiovascular adaptations to endurance training include all of the following except:
- A.
Increased cardiac output
- B.
Increase blood volume and red blood cell count
- C.
Improved thermoregulation
- D.
Increased submaximal heart rate
- E.
Enhanced blood flow to skeletal muscle
Correct Answer
D. Increased submaximal heart rateExplanation
Endurance training leads to various cardiovascular adaptations that improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system. These adaptations include increased cardiac output, which is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute, and increased blood volume and red blood cell count, which enhance oxygen-carrying capacity. Endurance training also improves thermoregulation by enhancing the body's ability to dissipate heat. However, increased submaximal heart rate is not a typical adaptation to endurance training. In fact, endurance training tends to decrease resting and submaximal heart rate, as the heart becomes more efficient and can pump more blood with fewer beats. Additionally, endurance training enhances blood flow to skeletal muscles, allowing for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery during exercise.Rate this question:
