cardiorespiratory
Breathing and circulation
Cardiorespiratory relates to the heart and lungs working together, particularly in delivering oxygen to the body during physical activity.
The term appears most often in fitness and medical contexts: cardiorespiratory endurance, cardiorespiratory fitness.
A cardiorespiratory workout elevates heart rate and breathing simultaneously—running, swimming, cycling.
