What does a measure of your cardiorespiratory endurance tell a fitness professional?

a. your aerobic fitness


b. what type of exercises you have been doing


c. your anaerobic fitness


d.how long you can sustain a weightlifting program|||the answer is A





measuring cardiorespiratory endurance simply means doing a test that measures the ability of your body to uptake and utilize oxygen (thus "aerobic")


its called cardiorespiratory because your respiratory system uptakes the oxygen (and exhales the CO2) and your cardiovascular system sends it to the muscles needing the oxygen.





one could argue that B is somewhat true since typically one can relate fitness to a particular type of exercise, but cardiorespiratory endurance can vary due to other factors and not necesarily how you exercise





D could also be somewhat true since theres usually a direct correlation between cardiorespiratory endurance and your ability to "sustain" a weightlifting program, although someone can have huge cardio fitness and not last long doing weights (for example a marathon runner)
