What are some aerobic exercises?

Aerobic exercise is becoming more and more popular now, because compared with other sports, aerobic exercise makes people feel more comfortable. It allows people to exercise in an aerobic environment, unlike other sports that make people feel suffocated. Although aerobic exercise is so popular, most people are not very clear about its specific items. The following editor will introduce to you the specific items of aerobic exercise, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

Common aerobic exercises include: walking, brisk walking, jogging, skating, swimming, cycling, Tai Chi, aerobics, skipping rope/rhythmic gymnastics, ball sports such as basketball, football, etc. Aerobic exercise is characterized by low intensity, rhythm, uninterrupted and continuous exercise for a long time. Compared with explosive non-aerobic exercises such as weightlifting, running, high jump, long jump, and throwing, aerobic exercise is a constant exercise that can last for more than 5 minutes with spare energy.

The purpose of aerobic exercise is to enhance cardiorespiratory endurance. During exercise, the muscles contract and a large amount of nutrients and oxygen are required, so the number of heart contractions increases and the amount of blood pumped out each time is more than usual. At the same time, the demand for oxygen also increases, the number of breaths is more than normal, and the lungs contract and expand to a greater extent. So when exercise continues and muscles contract for a long time, the heart and lungs must work hard to supply oxygen to the muscles and transport waste away from the muscles. This continuous demand can improve cardiopulmonary endurance. When cardiorespiratory endurance increases, the body can exercise for longer or at a higher intensity and is less likely to tire.

The combustion of gasoline cannot be separated from oxygen, so we can also call the work of the engine aerobic exercise. Similarly, humans also burn fuel during exercise, and human "fuel" is carbohydrates, protein and fat. These "fuels" of the human body are stored in the cells of the human body. When you exercise, you consume these "fuels" to obtain energy.

Just like an engine burning gasoline, humans also need oxygen to help combustion when they burn "fuel" (i.e. oxidation). When people exercise, they breathe deeply, allowing the oxygen in the air to enter the blood circulation system through the alveoli, and then flow to the tissue cells throughout the body with the arterial blood. This is a long process.

Exercise is not only good for our physical health, but also can make our temperament better. I hope everyone can stick to exercise and maintain good living habits. At the same time, the editor also hopes that everyone can gain something from the above article and better understand our aerobic exercise.
