Cardio Vascular (CV)

Cardio Vascular refers to the heart, lungs and blood vessel system in the body. The cardiovascular system is responsible for the transport of blood and its contents around the body. The cardiovascular system is a complex network of tissues and its effective function is essential for sustaining life.

Without proper care (regular exercise and good diet) we are susceptible to cardiovascular diseases such as High Blood Pressure, Angina, Cardiac Arrest (heart attack), Endocarditis and Atherosclerosis.
When in the gym people refer to ‘cardio’ they mean cardiovascular endurance exercise, such as running, rowing, cycling etc which is designed to improve the function and efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
