Can I improve my CV Endurance?

The answer is YES! It is very easy to improve CV endurance, as your body is great at adapting and getting stronger from training and exercise.

​

​

​

BUT! It also adapts quickly when you stop training, so regular exercise is important! If you stop training or exercising for a long time, then your body will lose its CV endurance.
