aerobic fitness

Cardiovascular conditioning level

Aerobic fitness is the body's capacity to sustain physical activity using oxygen efficiently—the heart, lungs, and circulatory system working together to fuel prolonged effort.

Running, swimming, and cycling build aerobic fitness.

Someone with good aerobic fitness can exercise longer without becoming winded: Her aerobic fitness improved after months of training.
