Describe the benefits of cardiorespiratory endurance training in maintaining health and well-being
What will be an ideal response?
People can get by without high levels of strength and flexibility, but we cannot do without a good cardiorespiratory system, facilitated by aerobic exercise. A poorly conditioned heart, which has to pump more often just to keep a person alive, is subject to more wear and tear than a well-conditioned heart. In situations that place strenuous demands on the heart, such as doing yard work, lifting heavy objects or weights, or running to catch a bus, the unconditioned heart may not be able to sustain the strain. Regular participation in cardiorespiratory endurance activities also helps a person achieve and maintain recommended body weight—the fourth component of health-related physical fitness.
