Juliet Anderson The Physiological Health Benefits of Aerobic Exercise Aerobic exercise is exercise that requires oxygen for prolonged periods. It places significant demands on the body that requires the body to improve its ability to handle oxygen (Cooper, The Aerobics Exercise Program for Total Well-Being 13). Aerobic exercise is an important way to strengthen different parts of the body at the same time. The physiological effects of aerobic exercise include strengthening the heart and lungs; improved efficiency of one’s circulation, and an overall important in many body systems. My interest in aerobic exercise initially happened later than my participation in it. ... There are numerous positive effects of aerobic exercise for the cardiovascular system. ... Through aerobic exercise, the heart functions more efficiently over a long period of time. ... A lower heart rate, as a result of exercise, provides many benefits to its caretaker. ... Regular aerobic exercise reduces the number of heart beats each minute reducing the overall workload of the heart. Increased amounts of aerobic exercise aid in the strength and growth of the heart. ... As a result, there is an increase in the stroke volume of the heart resulting in a more efficient muscle” (“Aerobic and anaerobic exercise”). ... When aerobic activity occurs, deep breathing in the lungs causes the lungs to expand exercising muscles of the rib cage and diaphragm (Fit or Fat). The faster the breathing, the greater the intensity of the exercise. During exercise, the body uses oxygen more efficiently, which results in stronger lung muscles. ... Aerobic training improves diffusion of oxygen from the lungs into the blood (Sharkey 90). ... Another physiological effect of aerobic exercise is the benefit of stronger vascular system. ... Aerobic training increases the growth rate of blood vessels. ... When blood is “super oxygenated as a result of aerobic conditioning, it becomes easier to metabolize fat” (price 108). The process of metabolizing fat becomes easier as aerobic exercise continues over a long period of time. ... Exercise is also vital in how adeptly the circulatory system works by transporting “life sustaining oxygen and foods, and such gaseous waste products as carbon dioxide” (Cooper, The New Aerobics for Women 10). ... This means that the waste products have a smaller chance of build up because aerobic exercise allows the body to get rid of waste products at a quick rate. If a body is not conditioned by aerobic exercise, then this build up leads to a slower rate of metabolism, which in turn makes it harder for the body to get rid of fat. The muscles and bones of the human body are so positively affected by aerobic conditioning. Muscles can be formed through both aerobic exercise and anaerobic conditioning (Cooper, The New Aerobics for Women 12). ... Although muscles are formed more quickly in an anaerobic exercise program, these muscles do not have long, elastic muscle fibers that the aerobically muscles trained have. |
