AEROBIC AND
ANAEROBIC ACTIVITY
Aerobic fitness is the ability to exercise or
compete for a long time without getting
breathless.
Aerobics became popular over 20 years ago. It
has now grown into a massive industry with
many famous people being linked with books,
videos and tv programmes.
AEROBICS
It has broadened out into STEP AEROBICS
and AQUA AEROBICS.
There are many other ways to improve
AEROBIC FITNESS:
1. Continuous training
2.Interval training
3.Fartlek training
4.Circuit training
ANAEROBIC FITNESS is the ability to work
at a high intensity for a short period of time.
Anaerobic exercise can only last for about 40
secs, about the time it takes a world class
400m runner to complete the race.
The repayment comes in the form of gasping
breaths at the end of activity.
This is to enable as much oxygen as possible to
get back into the respiratory system and to
eliminate as much of the waste product as
possible.
This is known as OXYGEN DEBT.
DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES DEMAND A
COMBINATION OF AEROBIC AND
ANAEROBIC FITNESS.
