AEROBICS
is any physical activity that increases your breathing and heart rate. It involves using large muscle groups to move your body for a sustained period.
Aerobic exercise
The word aerobic means
WITH OXYGEN
_________ often involves rhythmic or repetitive movements. But ultimately, if the movement gets your heart pumping for an extended period, it’s aerobic.
STEADY STATE AEROBICS
Give the 6 examples of aerobic activity
Brisk walking (a pace of about 3 miles per hour)
Hiking
Jogging or running
Cycling
Swimming
Rowing and Dancing
Routine exercise, including aerobics, reduces your risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. It also lowers your risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
Reduced risk of chronic illness
A heart-pumping cardio routine can also help lower your stress levels.
Less stress
Regular physical activity, including aerobics, can help you maintain a healthy body weight.
Weight Management
People who exercise regularly tend to fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. And research shows that regular aerobic activity can improve sleep quality in people with insomnia symptoms.
Better Sleep
exercise refers to physical activity that you can only maintain for a short period. It involves quick bursts of high-intensity movement. When you exercise, your muscles need more oxygen to sustain the movement. But when you do anaerobic exercise, your muscles work so hard that your heart and lungs can’t keep up.
ANAEROBIC
The word anaerobic means
“without oxygen.”
The word anaerobic means “without oxygen.” That’s because your body doesn’t use oxygen for energy during anaerobic exercise. Instead, your body utilizes
Energy Stored in your Muscles
Give 7 examples of Anaerobic exercise
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
Heavy weightlifting
Plyometrics
Squat jumps
Box jumps
Jumping lunges
Pilates
VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body uses for energy during intense exercise. It measures your cardiorespiratory fitness, which is essential for endurance. And studies show that HIIT may be better at improving VO2 max than moderate, steady-state exercise.
Better VO2 max
Ongoing research suggests that HIIT is an effective way to boost your health in a short amount of time. One study found that as little as three weekly HIIT sessions (10 minutes or less per session) may improve aerobic capacity and endurance.
Shorter workouts
For people looking to make athletic improvements –– like swinging a bat harder –– anaerobic exercise might help. One study found that anaerobic training increases muscle power for athletes.
More Muscle power
The word aerobic means “with oxygen.” That’s because your muscles use _____ to keep working during aerobic activity. You breathe harder so your _____ can supply more oxygen. And your heart beats faster to pump oxygen-rich blood to your ____. Your muscles use that oxygen to generate the energy required to keep moving.
OXYGEN
LUNGS
MUSCLES
