About Endurance Capacity

Endurance is your body's capacity to sustain an exercise for an extended amount of time. It's made up of cardiovascular and muscular endurance; the first one refers to the ability of your heart and lungs to fuel your body with oxygen, while the latter indicates how long your muscles can work without getting tired.

What are the benefits of high endurance capacity?

Higher endurance capacity is linked to a number of benefits, besides the natural predisposition to being leaner. Scientific evidence suggests that higher levels of physical fitness may prevent cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental diseases, especially later in life.
