Aerobic Capacity And Heart Disease Risk
Physical fitness involves strength, stamina, flexibility and also aerobic capacity. Aerobic activities are those that require the heart and lungs to process oxygen at a steady rate over a period of time. Walking, jogging and swimming develop stamina, endurance and aerobic fitness - the ability to keep going without placing undue strain on the heart and lungs. When you have less aerobic fitness exertion can place a strain on the heart muscle. One of the ways to reduce your risk of heart disease is to increase your physical fitness - but if you haven’t exercised for some time or you already have heart disease you need to speak to you health professional before you start.
