Cardiovascular Endurance Definition | Fitness, Exercise & Health Glossary

December 30, 2008 on 5:23 pm | By Matt | In Fitness, Health & Exercise Glossary |

What’s the Definition of Cardiovascular Endurance?

Definition of Cardiovascular Endurance

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels??to deliver oxygen to working muscles and tissues, as well as the ability of those muscles and tissues to utilize that oxygen.

Cardiovascular endurance is also frequently called cardio-respiratory endurance, cardiovascular fitness, aerobic capacity, aerobic fitness or is sometimes more broadly??termed “endurance” — although endurance may also refer to the ability of the muscle to do repeated work without fatigue.

While all physical activities involve some level of cardiovascular support, cardiovascular endurance typically refers to the ability of a person to perform activities that raise the heart to a training level and maintain that level for a sustained period of time, typically 10-15 minutes.?? A “training level” is typically expressed as percentage of a person’s??maximum heart rate (RMR), usually between 60-80 percent of an individual’s RMR.

Methods for Measuring Cardiovascular Endurance

Cardiovascular endurance can be measured using a number of formal clinical methods including:

  • Vo2Max Test
  • Ventilatory Threshold or Lactate Threshold Test
  • Graded Exercise Tests
  • Exercise Electrocardiography

Non-clinical??tests for cardiovascular endurance:

  • Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
  • Cooper Test
  • Estimated Vo2Max
  • Rate at which heart returns to RHR post-cardiovascular exercise
