Achieving peak cardiovascular and respiratory health is often associated with a specific range of body mass index (BMI). This metric, derived from weight and height, serves as a general indicator of healthy body composition, crucial for efficient oxygen delivery and utilization during physical activity.
Maintaining appropriate weight, as reflected by BMI, supports efficient cardiovascular function, reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels. This contributes to lower risks of cardiovascular diseases, improved endurance, and enhanced overall physical performance. Historically, BMI has been used in conjunction with other health indicators to assess individual fitness levels and predict potential health risks related to weight.
