AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC ACTIVITYACTIVITY

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.

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.
