What is aerobic exercise?
Exercise which demand large quantities of oxygen for prolonged periods and ultimately force the body to improve those systems responsible for the transportation of oxygen in a
steady state.
Example,as you sit reading a book,you''re in an aerobic steady state,because you''re breathing regularly and you will continue inhaling and exhaling air as long as there is life.The main difference what a
marathoner is doing is that your on a steady
state of energy
expenditure is at a level much lower than that of the marathoner.The marathoner will fatigue ultimately,due to the fact that his or her energy expenditure is 12-15 times above your basal,or
resting rate.And your resting heart and respiratory rates are not operating at a level high enough to place demands on the body,where as in the manner,this is occuring.such a high-demand response can occur from many types of aerobic exercise and together they are called the "training effect",or the positive physical changes that accompany aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercise characteristically involves covering long slow distances (L..S.D.) rather than short bursts of speed.But once an "aerobic base" is built up through distance training,athletes who are engaged in anaerobic sports often find that their overall performance improves.
Aerobic exercise programs have the greatest impact on your cardiovascular fitness,and hence your
total well-being.
