Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is a long term effect of exercise on the cardiovascular system?
A
Increased resting heart rate
B
slower recovery rate
C
decreased stroke volume
D
Reduced blood pressure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During exercise, increases in cardiac stroke volume and heart rate raise cardiac output, which coupled with a transient increase in systemic vascular resistance, elevate mean arterial blood pressure (60). However, long-term exercise can promote a net reduction in blood pressure at rest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exercise improves cardiovascular health by inducing changes in oxygen delivery, vasculature, peripheral tissues, and inflammation. (A) Exercise improves oxygen delivery throughout the body through promotion of vasodilation and angiogenesis (107–110).

Detailed explanation-3: -Combined with a healthy diet, aerobic exercise helps you lose weight and keep it off. You may feel tired when you first start regular aerobic exercise. But over the long term, you’ll enjoy increased stamina and reduced fatigue. You can also gain increased heart and lung fitness and bone and muscle strength over time.
