"Exertion" has a stronger meaning than "effort."
1. "He put effort into the project."
2. "He exerted himself for the project."
"Exerted" means that he put more effort into the project, he "outdid himself", he "went out of his way" for the project. I hope this helps. ^^

Exertion refers to a large physical or mental effort, for example heavy lifting, concentration on a difficult essay or running up a hill. These are all examples where a person would be exerting themselves. Effort is the act of trying to do something, so exertion is a type of effort.
