Benefits of Aerobic Training
Aerobic Training
The mechanics of aerobic exercise require that oxygen be brought
in by the lungs and transferred to the blood vessels. Oxygen rich
blood is then pumped by the heart to the muscles. The muscles utilize
oxygen for muscle contraction. Through routine aerobic activity,
the body becomes more efficient at processing oxygen. Examples of
aerobic activity include running, jogging, biking, rowing, walking.
In fact any exercise that incorporates large muscle groups, raises
the heart rate, breathing rate and body temperature is aerobic in
nature.
