How is the heart held in place?

The heart is held in place by the pericardium, a double-walled sac that surrounds the heart and anchors it within the chest cavity. The pericardium also helps protect the heart and keeps it from moving around too much during physical activity. Additionally, the heart is supported by ligaments and muscles within the chest cavity.


What is cardiorespiratory endurance?

It refers to the stamina of your heart/lung circulatory system. Your lungs transfer oxygen from breathing to your bloodstream and your heart pumps the blood through your body. The better your endurance, the more easily this system can handle an increased workload. If you are unfit, even a short run will leave you winded and gasping for air. If you are fit, you are able to run quite a while before your heart rate increases very much. The heart is a muscle that can be strengthened. The more endurance it has, the greater volume of blood it pumps with each beat.
