How & Why to Strengthen Your Heart & Cardiovascular Fitness | Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin
In this episode, I discuss the critical importance of building a strong heart and how to do it. I explain why the human body needs to breathe, the importance of cardiorespiratory fitness for sleep and exercise recovery, and its long-term implications for physical health, disease risk, and mortality. I explain how the heart functions, what determines heart rate, why the heart never gets sore, and the unique advantages of cardiac muscle over other muscle types.
I explain how to use the ‘Three I’s’ (investigate, interpret, intervene) to assess and improve your cardiovascular fitness. I explain what VO2 max is (and other related metrics, e.g., heart rate variability), describe ranges based on age and elite performance, and discuss exercise regimens to improve VO2 max.
Listeners of this episode will understand why cardiovascular health is vital for performance and overall health and learn a series of actionable tools to improve their cardiovascular fitness.

    Haven't seen this yet but I'd like to say I love the way you explain things for people without scientific background and don't bore us with prolonged data or research citations. I don't wanna sound like a caveman and I know sources are important but some people (most, probably?) are here to learn and apply, which is possible perfectly thanks to experts like you, Attia or Huberman. It's hard to believe this kind of knowledge is available for basically everyone, everywhere, completely free. It's great that you guys can earn money from CZcams instead of charging us thousands of dollars for courses or mentoring lol. I remember trying to learn something health-related 20 years ago, it was like a different eon back then, especially in my country (Poland). Without CZcams, broadband internet, damn. Even being 32 y.o. I feel like a dinosaur seeing how things progressed in terms of learning possibilities.

    Dr. How would higher levels of VO2 max could affect my condition? I have a Bicuspid aortic valve. All of my cardiologists have told me that I need to stay away from high intensity cardiovascular activity because it can lead to early heart failure. I am a healthy 27-year-old and I need to keep checking up my condition every year. I scored a 97% on my stress test early this year, and I have been working my cardiovascular capacity for the past 6 months, but never got above 185 BPM.

    Thanks Andy, we've all been waiting for this! You're giving out the information we all want to know, I'm looking forward to what's to come! I have often wondered about my Apple Watch's estimate of my VO2Max, I'm in the high range it says for age 53, at about 31-32 but I know it's really higher than it shows because I'm really fit, I train Muay Thai and am fitter than anyone there, some trainers can only train me when I'm sick and they are half my age. If I go for a run, just a steady jog, then it lowers my VO2Max estimate, but if I run because it starts raining on my beach walk, properly running to get out of the rain, suddenly my VO2Max goes up to 35. So I'm guessing my watch thinks that I'm trying to sprint when I jog? I'm happy to hear you say that these devices get it wrong for trained individuals. I'd love to get a lab test, but there isn't one here.

    By Resting Heart Rate in the 60s being a little high, do we mean seated.. standing.. laying down.. sleeping.. or whatever voodoo ballpark the wearable spits out? Context is a bit important here IMO, it can be a 10-20bpm swing between some of those. 🤓

    Hi Andy, first I would like to thank you for your contributions in this area. The variables associated with Cardiovascular fitness that effect VO2 Max are numerous, and I truly don't know if we (perhaps "I") fully grasp the balance between VO2 and VO2 Max in power-based performance. Although the relevance between weight and volume oxygen uptake, is a basis for conversations related to VO2 Max. I believe that higher lean mass plays a significant role in VO2 Max calculations and health outcomes. It may also seam that we have skipped over the power-based athlete who also has to build strength and deliver power over a timed duration. This particular type will not have the same VO2 Max based on sear muscle mass. Does the outcome for these individuals worsted based on size with the same VO2 but not the same VO2 Max. I could Go on. Again Andy. You have brought a lot to individuals seeking insight in physiology. I hope that we are able to keep a balanced mindset when looking into our physiology and its performance effects. enjoyed your talk. If you get a chance to read this, thank you for your time.
