fitness. Image shows international tennis player Barbora Strycova.
Cardiorespiratory fitness can be measured using VO2 max, a measure of the
amount of oxygen the body can uptake and utilize. Aerobic exercise, which
improves cardiorespiratory fitness and increase stamina, involves movement that
increases the heart rate to improve the body's oxygen consumption. This form of
exercise is an important part of all training regiments ranging from professional
athletes to the everyday person.
Prominent examples of aerobic exercises include:
Jogging Running at a steady and gentle pace. This form of exercise is great for
maintaining weight and building a cardiovascular base to later perform more
intense exercises.
Working on elliptical trainer This is a stationary exercise machine used to
perform walking, or running without causing excessive stress on the joints. This
form of exercise is perfect for people with achy hips, knees, and ankles.
Walking Moving at a fairly regular pace for a short, medium or long distance.
Treadmill training Many treadmills have programs set up that offer numerous
different workout plans. One effective cardiovascular activity would be to switch
between running and walking. Typically warm up first by walking and then switch
off between walking for three minutes and running for three minutes.
Swimming Using the arms and legs to keep oneself afloat in water and moving
either forwards or backward. This is a good full-body exercise for those who are
looking to strengthen their core while improving cardiovascular endurance.
Cycling Riding a bicycle typically involves longer distances than walking or
jogging. This is another low-impact exercise on the joints and is great for
improving leg strength.[18]
