Exercise promotes better cardiac output. With a better cardiac output, blood pressure is maintained at a better level and allows the body to carry both oxygen and nutrients to the body efficiently. Additionally, this reduces cardiac hypertrophy - the breaking down of the heart muscle. Other benefits include higher insulin sensitivity - which reduces the likeliness of Type 2 Diabetes - and a better lipoprotein plasma profile - which allows efficient transport of triglycerides and lipid cells to other cells and parts of the body, maximizing energy production and filtration.
