What do aerobic and anaerobic mean in terms of exercise and how do they differ in terms of energy production?
Aerobic exercise involves using oxygen to produce energy for sustained physical activity, while anaerobic exercise does not require oxygen and relies on stored energy sources for short bursts of intense activity. Aerobic exercise is more efficient at producing energy over longer periods of time, while anaerobic exercise is better suited for quick, high-intensity efforts.
What is the concept interval training?
Interval training consists of repeated bouts of high to moderate-intensity exercise inter-spread with periods of rest or reduced-intensity exercise.
What does aerobic exercise do to your muscles?
Aerobic exercise means your muscles are getting exercised at a rate where the muscles are not being depleted of oxygen faster than the blood, from the heart and lungs, can supply it. This allows the muscles to work at maximum efficiency. Aerobic exercise will not reduce the strength, size or endurance of muscles, but it will not help increase them. To work on increasing those, exercise needs to be anaerobic/resistive: high load for short periods. It is best to combine resistive and aerobic exercise to achieve all round strength and fitness.
When the body needs to exercise for long periods of time it generates ATP by what process?
The body generates ATP for long periods of exercise primarily through aerobic metabolism, which occurs in the mitochondria of cells. This process involves the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP.
What word is referred to a type of exercise where oxygen completely breaks down glucose and helps the body work hard?
The word you are looking for is "aerobic exercise". This type of exercise requires the body to use oxygen to produce energy by breaking down glucose and other nutrients, allowing the body to sustain activity for longer periods of time. Examples of aerobic exercises include running, swimming, and cycling.
Is weightlifting aerobics?
yes It can be anaerobic or aerobic. Anaerobic is done with a higher % of your max with fewer reps. Aerobic is done with a lower % but more reps to promote Muscle endurance as oppose to muscle strength and power.
Whether Exercise 5 days in a row good or bad?
To get the best benefit from exercise you need to give the muscles a chance to recover between periods, so if you're doing it daily it either needs to be different muscle groups each day, or be mainly restricted to aerobic exercises.
Should one not exercise during periods?
No, it is a myth, In fact you must exercise during periods as it will help ease out the pain and also distract you.
Is weight training aerobic or anaerobic and why?
Weight training is primarily considered anaerobic exercise because it involves short bursts of high-intensity effort that rely on energy sources stored in the muscles rather than oxygen. Unlike aerobic exercise, which is sustained and relies on oxygen for prolonged energy expenditure, weight training typically focuses on building strength and muscle mass through resistance. This type of training enhances muscle power and endurance but does not significantly elevate the heart rate for extended periods, which is a hallmark of aerobic activities.
Why do you have pelvic pain and frequent periods?
If you are having irregular periods and moderate to severe abdominal pain you should probably see a gynecologist.
Explain why a good exercise program should include both aerobic and resistance training?
Aerobic exercise is an important form of exercise that utilizes the use of the heart and lungs. It is a low intensity exercise, so it can be performed for prolonged periods of time without exhaustion or risk of injury, which is especially good for older individuals. It also can be used for fat loss. On the other hand, anaerobic exercise has more benefits for those who are capable of high intensity exercise and for those with interests in increasing cardiovascular health and athletic abilities. Anaerobic exercise stresses both the cardiovascular system and muscular system. Benefits include: a decrease in body fat, an increase in cardiovascular function, speed, power, and agility. Yet, anaerobic exercise such as high intensity interval exercise should not be over performed because it stresses the body, which could lead to overtraining and injury. Anaerobic and aerobic exercise should be used in moderation.
What is the difference between cardio and aerobic exercise?
It is and it isn't. It completely depends on what your aim is i.e loose weight, get aerobic fit or cardio fit! In themselves they are quite different. We all know what cardio is and its usually done for longer periods of time . . . while sport aerobics is high intensity and not for as long. So it practically depends on the individual and his or hers needs. :)
