This Exercise Physiology and the Effects of Exercise page on GoConqr gathers community-made mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and notes, from energy systems and VO2 max to chronic adaptations, altitude and heat. It's built for school students revising a topic, university students and professional candidates filling gaps, and teachers after ready-made material. There are over 500 resources here, including more than 30 quizzes, over 300 mind maps and over 190 flashcard decks, made by more than 300 contributors. Pick a topic, try a quiz to find your gaps, then make your own set.

About Exercise Physiology and the Effects of Exercise

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page centres on how the body produces energy and how it responds to training. The mind map Energy Systems walks through the aerobic and anaerobic glycolytic systems, ATP/PC, glycolysis in the sarcoplasm, the Krebs cycle and more. Exercise Physiology links glucose, glycogen, pyruvic acid and lactic acid to the three systems. Measurements of Energy Expenditure covers the respiratory exchange ratio, the VO2 max test, lactate sampling and indirect calorimetry.

Responses and adaptations

Short-term effects sit alongside long-term change. Chronic adaptations compares aerobic and anaerobic changes, including the heart and muscle. The flashcard decks WCC VCE PE: Aerobic Chronic Adaptions and WCC VCE PE: Anaerobic Chronic Adaptations to a training program sort changes into respiratory, cardiovascular and muscular groups. There are also maps on ventilatory response, stroke volume and cardiac output, and recovery methods.

Where to start

  1. Open the Energy Systems mind map to get the big picture.
  2. Move to Measurements of Energy Expenditure for how energy use is tested.
  3. Work through the chronic adaptations flashcards.
  4. Finish with a quiz such as Exam Prep Exercise Science Practice Exam.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same topic. Wherever you lose marks, go back to that branch of the map and reread it. Flashcards then help you fix definitions in your memory. Some resources mention A-level PE, GCSE PE, IB, VCE and NASM, so look for the wording that matches your course.

Where it fits

This unit belongs to the strand Applied Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics in Physical education and sport. Choose one topic that feels shaky and start there, then add your own notes as you go.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Energy Systems mind map. It lays out the aerobic, anaerobic glycolytic and ATP/PC systems in one place, which makes later topics easier to follow. After that, try the Measurements of Energy Expenditure mind map, then test yourself with a practice exam quiz.

What do the chronic adaptation flashcards cover?

The two WCC VCE PE decks split training effects by system. The aerobic deck covers items such as pulmonary diffusion, tidal volume and stroke volume. The anaerobic deck covers PC stores, glycolytic capacity, ATP stores and enzymes. They suit quick recall practice.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, and you don't need an account. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.

Which levels and exams do these resources suit?

Most are aimed at school students, with a good share for university students and a few for professional candidates. Resources mention A-level PE, GCSE PE, IB, VCE and NASM. Check each title and preview to see whether it matches your course.

Can I save my quiz scores?

A free account saves your quiz scores. It also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, which is handy if you want to tailor a topic.

What if the topic I need isn't listed?

Browse the related topics on the page first, such as altitude, heat, hydration, fatigue and recovery. If your topic is still missing, you can build your own mind map or flashcard deck from your class notes.
