Increasing your aerobic capacity can improve a muscle’s ability to use oxygen, while also improving the overall health and function of the cells.
INCREASING AEROBIC CAPACITY
Increasing aerobic capacity can help improve the flow of oxygenated blood to muscle tissue, which, in turn, can improve mitochondrial density. Mitochondria are the organelles of a muscle cell that use oxygen to help produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the actual fuel that supplies muscle contractions. Improving mitochondrial density improves a muscle’s ability to use oxygen, while also improving the overall health and function of the cells.
