Benefits of Aerobic Exercise:
1: Increased maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)
2: Improvement in cardiovascular /cardio respiratory function (heart and lungs)
- Increased maximal cardiac output (amount of blood pumped every minute)
- Increased maximal stroke volume (amount of blood pumped with each beat)
- Increased blood volume and ability to carry oxygen
- Reduced workload on the heart (myocardial oxygen consumption) for any given sub maximal exercise intensity
3: Increased blood supply to muscles and ability to use oxygen
4: Lower heart rate and blood pressure at any level of sub maximal exercise
