Question 1 • MS Health Quest (IS)

Which best describes cardio-respiratory endurance?

Answer
A
The body's ability to metabolize pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
B
The body's ability to continue exercising through pain or discomfort.
C
The body's ability to repeatedly exert force for a long period of time.
D
The body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Explanation

Cardio-respiratory endurance is how well the heart and lungs support sustained activity by supplying oxygen to working muscles. That makes “the body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body” the best description. Repeatedly exerting force over time describes muscular endurance, not cardio-respiratory endurance.
