The endurance sport is good for the brain and joints, which remain mobile so that arthritis can be prevented. It also reduces the risk of suffering from dementia or stroke. The sport also protects against osteoporosis. The stimulated blood circulation ensures clearer and healthier skin. During active sports, the muscles are also better supplied with oxygen as a result of the increase in blood circulation, so that the muscles become more effective. Calorie burning is also stimulated as a result. But not only is endurance sport good for the heart and circulation, but diabetes can also be prevented by weight loss; the risk of cancer is also reduced. Endurance sportsmen and women have less back pain and posture problems due to exercise and less sedentary activities. Cardio training has a positive effect on blood sugar levels, as well as on cholesterol and blood fat levels, lung function, sex life and mood.

Cardio-training is highly recommended by experts for people with (chronic) lack of exercise.
