What does BMR stand for and why is it important?
BMR is Basal Metabolic Rate, it is the amount of energy needed just to keep the body systems working normally.
What is the meaning of Cardiac Hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy means an increase in size, so muscle hypertrophy means the muscles get bigger. If you weight train regularly doing biceps curls, your biceps will show muscle hypertrophy. Cardiac hypertrophy is where the ventricle wall gets larger or thickens as a result of exercise.
Because it continues to remove waste product build up in the body and continues to pump blood to working areas.

Bonus 100 If you can tell us why?
Cardiovascular system Increase in stroke volume (SV); increase in heart rate (HR); increase in cardiac output (Q); increase in blood pressure (BP)
Respiratory system Increase in breathing rate; increase in tidal volume
