defined as any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously and is rhythmic in nature.
+ It is also defined as an exercise that increases the need for oxygen.
Aerobics/Aerobic Exercise
Benefits of Aerobics
Improves cardiovascular health
Helps regulate blood sugar
Reduces asthma symptoms
Reduces chronic pain
Regulates weight
Strengthens immune system
Improves brain power
Affordable and accessible
Boosts Mood
Benefits of Aerobics
exercise strengthens your heart and helps it more efficiently pump blood throughout the body.
Improves cardiovascular health
Benefits of Aerobics
Regular physical activity helps regulate insulin levels and lower blood sugar, all while keeping body weight in check. In a study on people with type 2 diabetes, researchers found that any form of movement, either aerobic or anaerobic, may have these effects.
Helps regulate blood sugar
Benefits of Aerobics
Aerobic exercise can help people with asthma lessen both the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. You should still talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise routine if you have asthma, however. They may recommend specific activities or precautions to help keep you safe while working out.
Reduces asthma symptoms
Benefits of Aerobics
If you have chronic back pain, cardiovascular exercise —specifically low-impact activities, like swimming or aqua aerobics — may help you. Exercise can also help you lose weight, which may further reduce chronic back pain.
Reduces chronic pain
Benefits of Aerobics
In one study, researchers asked overweight participants to keep their diets the same, but to engage in exercise sessions that would burn 400 to 600 calories, 5 times a week, for 10 months.
Regulates weight
Benefits of Aerobics
Results showed that regular and moderate aerobic exercise increases certain antibodies in the blood called immunoglobulins. That ultimately strengthens the immune system.
Strengthens immune system
Benefits of Aerobics
55 older adults submitted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for evaluation. The participants were then examined to assess their health, including aerobic fitness. The adults who were most fit showed fewer reductions in the frontal, parietal, and temporal areas of the brain. Overall, their brain tissue was more robust.
Improves brain power
Benefits of Aerobics
In one study on individuals with depression, participants walked on a treadmill doing intervals for 30 minutes a session. After 10 days, they were asked to report any changes in their mood. All participants reported a significant reduction in their symptoms of depression. These results suggest that engaging in exercise, even for a short period of time, may have a big impact on mood.
Boosts Mood
Benefits of Aerobics
You don’t need any fancy equipment or a gym membership to work out. Getting daily exercise can be as easy as taking a walk around your neighborhood or going for a jog with a friend on a local trail.
