Does aerobic exercise build strength?
This depends on your definition of strength. The classic definition of strength relates more to a specific force production by your muscles. Aerobic exercise like walking, swimming, or biking will give you a “stronger” cardiovascular system (heart and lungs). However, you can develop specific muscular endurance in the body parts involved during the aerobic exercise, legs for example. But, if your goal is to build strength, weight training is the most efficient way to do this!
