AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC ACTIVITIES

AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC CAPACITY

AEROBIC ACTIVITIES

AEROBIC WORKOUTS activates the HEART RATE AND BREATHING RATE in such a way that can be sustained during the workout.

OXYGEN is required for all track and field activities.

It is used immediately during such activities like DISTANCE RUN, CARDIO MACHINES, WALKING, SWIMMING, KICKBOXING, HIKING.

Such activities are known as AEROBIC ACTIVITIES.

By breathing oxygen during such activities it is TRANSPORTED TO SUSTAIN THE MUSCLES AT WORK.

Aerobic activities, if performed at a HIGH INTENSITY, becomes ANAEROBIC ACTIVITIES.

ANAEROBIC ACTIVITIES

In contrast to aerobic activities, ANAEROBIC ACTIVITIES are performed at a HIGH INTENSITY and causes you to be quickly OUT-OF-BREATHE.

The best example of anaerobic activity is a SPRINTING AND HEAVY WEIGHT LIFTING.

During a short sprint, since it is performed so fast, THE BODY CANNOT BREATHE OXYGEN to help with the activity.

By the time oxygen passes through the lungs, heart and muscles, the activity is over.

Thus, ANAEROBIC ACTIVITIES takes place in the absence of oxygen that is inhaled and circulated. Instead, the cell CONVERTS THE MUSCLE STORAGE OF OXYGEN INTO USABLE ENERGY.

This is a QUICK PROCESS and improves as the anaerobic capacity of a body improves.

BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING

Any Fitness Schedule is incomplete without an Interval-Training session.


To get optimum results of our Time and efforts in Fitness-Training, we must focus on Interval training at-least once a week.


The intensity of Interval workout varies, depending on:
1. Your fitness level
2. Your training style (aerobics, weight-training, strength-training, bodyweight, yoga etc.)

1.      Interval Workout or Interval Training means working out in an ANAEROBIC mode (High Intensity), for a short duration and repeating the workout in a specified number of sets as defined by the trainer.

2.      It consists of BURSTS OF SPEED for a set duration of time.

3.      It helps to improve your AEROBIC CAPACITY benefiting into WEIGHT-LOSS and HEART-HEALTH (a healthy and strong heart)

4.      This form of workout BURNS MORE CALORIES since your heart-rate is constantly rising and falling.

5.      It results into a BETTER CARDIOVASCULAR-SHAPE due to burst of speed in intervals, resulting into and IMPROVED FITNESS-LEVEL.

6.      Interval training keeps your schedule INTERESTING and CHALLENGING and keeps you into it throughout the session.
