1 answer

If your cardiovascular system is strong but your muscles are not, one of the potential results could be:

B. Increased body fat

This is because a strong cardiovascular system primarily improves endurance and aerobic capacity, but without a strong muscular system, there may be less overall muscle mass, which can lead to a slower metabolism and potentially increased body fat. Muscle tissue is metabolically active, meaning that having more muscle can help increase overall metabolic rate.
