Aerobic Exercises Flashcards
It refers to the type of repetitive, structured physical activity that requires the body’s metabolic system to use oxygen to produce energy.
Aerobic exercise
Improves the capacity of the cardiovascular system to uptake and transport oxygen.

FAMILIARIZE ONLY!
Aerobic dancing work out in cardiovascular fitness requires continuous movement at a self-monitored level with the following benefits.
What are these?

What are the Three General Types of Exercise?
- Isotonic
- Isometric
- Aerobic
It refers to the steady and partial constant contraction of the skeletal muscles to produce movement.
Isotonic
It improves muscle tone.
Isotonic
Examples:
- Calisthenics or free hand exercises
- Weightlifting
- Rhythmic gymnastics
Isotonic
One where the muscles are made to undergo tension, usually for about 10 secs or more and no movement is produced because there is lengthening nor shortening of muscles at the joint.
Isometric
It improves muscular strength.
Isometric
Examples:
- When the ten fingers of each hand are pressed or pushed against each other to develop or improve the muscles of the fingers of volleyball players.
Isometric
Refers to vigorous movements done or performed within a sustained period or length of time for about 35 to 45 minutes in order for the body to demand large amount of oxygen.
Aerobic
It improves cardiovascular efficiency.
Aerobic
It refers to a variety of activities and exercises that stimulate heart and lung function for a time period long enough to produce and maintain cardiovascular endurance and efficiency. Running, swimming, cycling, jogging, rope skipping, and dancing belongs to heart stimulators.
Aerobics
Note: These activities make one work hard so that the heart and blood vessels together with the proper taking in of fresh air will increase their ability to transport oxygen to meet the needs of the different parts of the body. The stronger the heart becomes, the more efficient it works.
An aerobic dancing workout consists of Three (3) phases.
What are these?
- Limbering Exercise
- Warm-Up
- Aerobic Dancing Routine or workout
