  1. aerobic exercise

    Aerobic exercise refers to any type of physical activity that involves the large muscle groups of the body, is rhythmic in nature, and can be sustained for a prolonged period of time. It increases your heart and breathing rate, improving your body's oxygen consumption and enhancing cardiovascular and respiratory endurance. Examples include running, swimming, cycling, and brisk walking.

  1. Aerobic exercise

    Aerobic exercise is physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process. Aerobic literally means "living in air", and refers to the use of oxygen to adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. Generally, light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time. The intensity should be between 60 and 85% of maximum heart rate. When practiced in this way, examples of cardiovascular/aerobic exercise are medium to long distance running/jogging, swimming, cycling, and walking, according to the first extensive research on aerobic exercise, conducted in the 1960s on over 5,000 U.S. Air Force personnel by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper.
