The movement means increased energy needs, primarily on the muscle, but also in other organs such as the cardiovascular system, nervous system, respiratory, metabolic and others. To meet this increased demand for energy, they are launched and activated most of the systems: the cardiovascular to pump more blood and transport; respiratory, to take more oxygen which then transport the blood to the muscles; metabolic, to provide nutrients (carbohydrates and / or fats) necessary to our muscles; as well as the nervous and hormonal systems are responsible for coordinating all these processes.
This stimulus on every
organ and linked to the exercise system makes mid-term adjustments to improve
its performance and capacity occur. During energy is expended and function of
most systems is modified. In recovering the balance is restored and even get to
improve its function as training is repeated. We all know that there is a basic
principle in biology: "any organ or system is not stimulated or used
atrophies," and in this sense, exercise is a clear example of this mode of
behavior.
Regular physical exercise
(3 to 5 times a week) promotes beneficial effects on health in general and also
for our immune defenses against cancer:
Ø Effects on overall health.
Ø Reduces the relative risk of death from any cause.
Ø It helps to maintain ideal weight, reducing fat
and increasing muscle weight.
Ø Reduces blood pressure levels.
Ø Improves the function of cardiovascular system.
Ø It helps prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
slow.
Ø Reduces the incidence of back discomfort.
Ø It helps prevent type 2 diabetes.
Ø It improves self-esteem.
Ø Reduces the incidence of depression.
Ø Combats the effects of aging.
Ø Effects on cancer / immune health.
