Summary of long-term adaptations to regular aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise can cause several central cardiovascular adaptations, including an increase in stroke volume (SV) and maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max), as well as a decrease in resting heart rate (RHR). Long-term adaptations to resistance training, the most common form of anaerobic exercise, include muscular hypertrophy, an increase in the physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) of muscle(s), and an increase in

An Ancient Greek discus thrower. Contemporary sports training focused on exercising the muscles and joints in order to achieve the ideal proportions of strength and shape and thereby optimise performance. The athletic torso is typically presented as being powerfully muscled with the joints optimally positioned and aligned (centrated) for dynamic action. Sculpted by Naukydes c.380 - 390 B.C. A part of the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung collection,
