The Potential Benefits of Cardio for Bodybuilders
Cardiovascular exercise can have benefits for bodybuilders beyond fat loss. Endurance training has been shown to improve general health, reduce blood pressure, improve blood sugar control, and increase cardiorespiratory fitness. It has also been suggested that endurance training before strength training may support muscle hypertrophy through increased muscle capillarization. However, concurrent training, doing both endurance and resistance training simultaneously, may have minimal effects on muscle growth and potentially reduce power adaptations. The utility of incorporating cardio into a training program depends on individual context, training status, goals, and overall health.
