Twice or more than it’s resting rate

Deliver blood back to the heart

Respiratory system
The principal organ of your respiratory system is your
Lungs
A muscle found between the chest cavity and abdomen
Diaphragm
What are some benefits or aerobic activity
Strengthens the muscles being used, increases stroke volume and lowers your resting heart rate, also conditions the muscles used in breathing to function more efficiently
Is the ability of the body to work continuously for extended periods of time
Cardiorespiratory endurance
People who have high level of cardiorespiratory fitness have lowered risks of
Adult lifestyle diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity
Cardiorespiratory endurance increases
Your chances for living a longer and healthier life
Diseases that are the result of certain lifestyle choices
Lifestyle diseases
Some risk factors for heart and lung disease are
Inactivity, being overweight, smoking and using other forms of tobacco, eating foods high in fat and cholesterol
Any medical disorder that affects the heart or blood vessels

Referred to as sudden cardiac death. Can occur in young and older people during strenuous activity
Cardiac arrest
