Question: what is the difference between cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory endurance?
Answer: Cardiorespiratory endurance involves the heart, blood vessels, and lungs, while cardiovascular endurance just includes the heart and blood vessels, says William P. Kelley, C.S.C.S., ATC. “Cardiovascular endurance is related to the cardiorespiratory function, as blood is what carries the oxygen,” he explains.
