The Importance of Cardio Exercise
Cardio exercise, also known as aerobic exercise, is crucial for improving cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory health. Unlike strength training, which is anaerobic and doesn't require oxygen, cardio exercises like jogging, hiking, and team sports utilize the cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory systems. Improving cardio fitness enhances the body's capacity to utilize oxygen, which is measured by VO2 max. A higher VO2 max indicates better cardiovascular and respiratory function. Having a good cardio fitness level is not only important for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease but is also associated with lower overall mortality rates.
