Document Summary

Identify the key structures of the cardiorespiratory system and state how they work together to provide oxygen to the body. Outline how aerobic training improves your body"s ability to use oxygen and provide the energy you need for exercise. Describe the fitness and wellness benefits you can get from cardiorespiratory training. Assess your cardiorespiratory fitness level on a regular basis using a variety of methods. Implement a cardiorespiratory fitness program compatible with your goals and lifestyle. Use behaviour modification strategies to maintain your new respiratory fitness program. Incorporate strategies to prevent injuries during cardiorespiratory training. The ability of the cardiovascular respiratory systems to supply oxygen and nutrients to large muscle groups to sustain dynamic activity. The body system responsible for the exchange of gases between the body and the air. The body system responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and the delivery of carbon dioxide and other waste back to the heart.
