Pros of Cardio Training:
• Improves blood flow and helps manage high blood
pressure.

blood more efficiently. Hence, artery force reduces.
Lowers blood pressure.
• Boosts lung health and function.
As a result, your lungs will benefit from enhanced
circulation and tissue strength.
• lifts spirits energize you and relieve tension.
It encourages neuronal development, decreased
inflammation, and novel activity patterns in the brain that
foster serenity and contentment.
• increases the efficiency with which fat is burned for
energy, which may result in reduced body fat.
The remaining glucose in your muscle is used first, and
then the system switches to the liver as a secondary
source. Cardio exercise increases muscle glucose and fat
metabolism.
Cons of Cardio Training:

may experience muscular tension and soreness. It's
possible to injure or make yourself sore by putting too

drives sarcomere addition, which moves the optimal
muscle length for force generation to a longer muscle
length and a different joint angle.
• limited use in sports
gains in physical strength, endurance, power, and size.
• cannot monitor the intensity.
the weight lifted compared to one repetition's maximum
strength.
• speed controlled.
Resisted training increases athletes' speed-to-strength ratio,
