of the heart.
(1) The size of the heart increases making it able to pump
more blood with more force.
(2) The amount of blood the heart pumps with each
contraction increases. This is due to a combination of an
increase in the heart size and a decrease in pulse that
allows more blood to enter the heart between beats.

(4) The heart rate recovers to resting levels more rapidly
after training has stopped.
(5) More capillaries form to supply the working muscles
with oxygen rich blood.
(6) Blood pressure decreases.
