Give some physiological reasons why aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory endurance

What will be an ideal response?


Oxygen is required by the aerobic system to burn substrates and produce energy. The more aerobic metabolism is stressed, the more the oxygen delivery (cardiovascular) system is stressed. Because oxygen delivery is the limiting factor in aerobic exercise, the heart, lungs, and blood vessels are continually stimulated to adapt to a greater capacity.
