Examples include walking, jogging, running, aerobic dance, bicycling, rowing, swimming and cross-country skiing.



Health Benefits Of Aerobic Exercise

1. Increases maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max).

2. Improvement in cardiovascular/cardio respiratory function (heart and lungs).

3. Increases maximal cardiac output (amount of blood pumped every minute).

4. Increases maximal stroke volume (amount of blood pumped with each beat).

5. Increases blood volume and ability to carry oxygen.

6. Reduces workload on the heart (myocardial oxygen consumption) for any given sub maximal exercise intensity.

7. Increases blood supply to muscles and ability to use oxygen.

8. Lowers heart rate and blood pressure at any level of sub maximal exercise.

9. Increases threshold for lactic acid accumulation.

10.Lowers resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.

11.Increases HDL Cholesterol (the good cholesterol).

12.Decreases blood triglycerides.

13.Reduces body fat and improved weight control.

14.Improves glucose tolerance and reduced insulin resistance.

Example: resistance gym instrument workout, using dumbbells, etc.



Health Benefits Of Anaerobic Exercise

1. Increases muscular strength.

2. Increases strength of tendons and ligaments.

3. Potentially improves flexibility (range of motion of joints).

4. Reduces body fat and increased lean body mass (muscle mass).

5. Potentially decreases resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

6. Positive changes in blood cholesterol.

7. Improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.

8. Improves strength, balance and functional ability in older adults.
