Before starting a cardiorespiratory exercise program, which medical tests might you consider receiving from your doctor?

Answer 1

heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and high blood pressure.

People with depression may have uncommonly sticky platelets, the tiny cells that cause blood to clot. In patients with heart disease, this can accelerate atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and increase the chance of heart attack.

VO2max is the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. So cardiorespiratory exercise affects vo2max positively as it might increase it.
