Cardiovascular System: A Brief Summary

Physical Exercise Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health or wellness. It is performed for various reasons. These include strengthening muscles and cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the “diseases of affluence” such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual sex appeal or body image, which again is also linked with higher levels of self-esteem. Childhood obesity is growing global concern and physical exercise may
There is a lot of variation in individual response to training: where most people will see a moderate increase in endurance from aerobic exercise, some individuals will as much as double their oxygen uptake, while others can never enhance endurance. Also, muscle hypertrophy from resistance training is primarily determined by diet and testosterone. This genetic variation in improvement from training is one of the key physiological differences between professional athletes and usually people. I can say that exercising in middle age leads to better physical ability later in life.
Beneficial effect of exercise on the Cardiovascular System
- Improved Heart Health:
The first one is an improved condition of your heart is a muscle just like any other and in order for it to become strong it must be worked.

While however there is insufficient evidence to draw detailed conclusions about the relationship between exercise and sleep.
Public health measures
Signs that encourage the use of stairs, as well as community campaigns, have been shown to be effective in increasing exercise in a population. The city of Bogota, Columbia, for example, blocks off 113 kilometers of roads on Sundays and holidays to make it easier for its citizens to get exercise. These pedestrian zones are part of an effort to combat chronic diseases, including obesity. Common misconceptions
Many myths have become surrounding exercise, some of which have a basis in reality, and some are completely false. I will give some examples of myths below:
