- Aids in blood sugar control.
- Supports weight management or loss.
- Enhances lung function.
Cardiovascular Fitness
- Definition: Ability of the heart, blood cells, and lungs to deliver oxygen-rich blood to muscles.
- Helps muscles utilize oxygen for energy production.
Cardiovascular Exercise
- Involves any physical activity that raises and maintains heart rate.
- Engages large muscle groups like biceps, triceps, quadriceps, and hamstrings.
- Strengthening of these muscles can be achieved through aerobic and similar activities.
