The body's ability to process oxygen. It is a combination of lung capacity, the size of the capillaries, the pumping action of the heart, and transfer of oxygen from red blood cells to target tissues.
Aerobic capacity is the capacity of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to deliver oxygen to working muscles.
Another term for maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 Max).
Aerobic exercise is any activity that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet increased demand on skeletal muscles for oxygen. Aerobic capacity is a measure of the extent of an individual's ability to perform aerobic exercise.
Ability of our heart and lung system to cope with activity over period of time.
Also called VO2max; maximum amount of oxygen that can be utilized by the body; also describes a type of training that increases the amount of oxygen that can be utilized, i.e., Aerobic Capacity Intervals
Your aerobic capacity is a measure of your body's ability to deliver oxygen to your muscles, as well as how much of that oxygen your muscles can use for energy. In other words, aerobic capacity is how much oxygen your body can process when you're working out as hard as you can. Regular exercise can increase your aerobic capacity.
