Cardiorespiratory endurance is how effectively your heart, lungs and blood vessels work together to get oxygen to all of your bodyâs tissues and organs. The amount of oxygen your body uses is referred to as oxygen consumption or VO2, or volume of oxygen. As your intensity of exercise increases, VO2 rises and eventually reaches its peak value, known as V02max. VO2max, also known as aerobic capacity, is the measure of cardiorespiratory endurance.
