  2. Aerobic conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_conditioning

    Trained endurance athletes can have resting heart rates as low as a reported 28 beats per minute (Miguel Indurain) or 32 beats per minute (Lance Armstrong), [5] both of whom were professional cyclists at the highest level. Aerobic conditioning makes the heart and lungs pump blood more efficiently, delivering more oxygen to muscles and organs. [6]

    In 1966 he coined the term "aerobics". Two years later, in 1968, he published a book of the same name. In 1970, he created the Cooper Institute for non-profit research and education devoted to preventive medicine. He published a mass-market version of his book The New Aerobics in 1979. Cooper encouraged millions into becoming active and is now ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_fitness

    Cardiovascular fitness is a component of physical fitness, which refers to a person's ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles, including the heart.Cardiovascular fitness is improved by sustained physical activity (see also Endurance Training) and is affected by many physiological parameters, including cardiac output (determined by heart rate multiplied by stroke volume), vascular ...

  5. High-intensity interval training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval...

    A version of HIIT is based on a 1996 study [1] by Ritsumeikan University Professor Izumi Tabata (田畑泉) et al. initially involving Olympic speedskaters. The study used 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise (at an intensity of about 170% of VO 2 max ) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles).

    Before and after lung surgery [9] Interstitial lung disease: Pulmonary rehabilitation may be safe and may help improve functional exercise capacity, a person's short-term quality of life, and improve shortness of breath . [8] Asthma: moderate quality evidence suggests asthmatics may have improvement in quality of life and exercise capacity.

  7. Long slow distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_slow_distance

    A typical 5k runner might consider 8 to 10 miles (13 to 16 km) of LSD, while a marathoner might run 20 miles (32 km) or more. LSD runs are typically done at an easy pace, 1–3 minutes per mile slower than a runner's 10k pace. The objectives of these runs are to build blood volume and to increase muscle strength, endurance, and aerobic fitness.

  8. Benefits of physical activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefits_of_physical_activity

    Other studies have shown that exercise-based rehabilitation at a moderate intensity in heart failure patients improves cardiorespiratory fitness and increases both exercise endurance capacity and VO2max (12–31% increase). [15] More recent studies have examined the effects of high-intensity exercise on patients with heart failure.
