31. Improve the diffusion of oxygen from the lungs into the capillaries of the pulmonary system.
32. Increase blood volume.
33. Increase haemoglobin levels in the blood.
34. Increase the stroke volume of the heart (ie it pumps more blood with each beat, at rest and during exercise).
35. Increase the size of the coronary arteries that supply the heart (thus reducing risk of heart attack).
36. Improve blood distribution and transportation efficiency.
37. Increase the capillary-fibre ratio. This means more efficient diffusion between the blood vessels and internal wall of the muscle.
38. Fine tunes both secretion and response to hormones, leading to more efficient use of hormones and energy sources.
39. Improve mobilisation of fat. Exercise improves the oxidative ability of a muscle, leading to less lactic acid production (lactic acid blocks the hormone responsible for the mobilisation of fat). This leads to better fat mobilisation and utilisation.
40. Improve bone density.
