An activity is considered cardiovascular exercise if it..
lasts ten minutes or longer
What are the benefits of cardiovascular exercise?
lower blood pressure increased cardiac output greater stroke volume
oxygen deficit
the exercise phase where lactic acid is being produced
cardiovascular exercise
the type of activity that conditions the heart, lungs, and blood vessels
T/F If you score above average on the cardiovascular tests, then you do not need to perform cardio exercise anymore.
False
How are the lungs made healthier during cardio exercise?

When does an oxygen deficit occur?
when you start cardio exercise

oxygen consumption
the amount of oxygen the muscles in the body need in order to produce energy for movement
When is lactic acid produced mostly?
the oxygen deficit phase
steady state

What is cardio fitness measured by?
the step test
How does the body increase the amount of oxygen to the muscles during exercise?
by breathing faster
