Does cardiovascular training improve performance capacity and health outcomes?
Cardiovascular training provides numerous functional and health benefits, including improved performance capacity, potentially lower cholesterol, and no known detrimental health effects.
M. J. KAKVONEN (1959) reported a review. Training of the cardiovascular system was evaluated. Training of the cardiovascular system improves performance capacity and health, and is associated with equal or greater longevity and lower serum cholesterol compared to the general population.
