Importance of Aerobics

What is the importance of aerobics? First and foremost, doing aerobics increases cardio


respiratory fitness, which is one of the five essential components of physical fitness.
Cardio respiratory fitness is the ability of the body's circulatory systems to maintain
oxygen levels and supply fuel during sustained physical activity.
It isn't as circular as it sounds. While aerobic fitness is important for doing aerobics,
there's more to it than that. Being aerobically fit means that you have a strong heart,
circulatory system and lungs, and those factors affect you far beyond your ability to
perform aerobic activity. Your heart and lungs have some level of involvement in every
single bodily function you have. That's because your entire body requires a well-
oxygenated blood supply to function effectively.
A strong heart and circulatory system allows your body to deliver the necessary fuel to
all of the outposts in your body via your blood flow. Not only that, but a strong heart
pumps more effectively, providing more blood to your body with each beat. Similarly,
healthy lungs bring in oxygen and expel byproducts efficiently and effectively. Both are
essential in avoiding heart disease and other cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses.
The importance of aerobics goes beyond your body's internal processes, however. If
you are not aerobically fit, you're going to feel it as you go about your day. Maintaining
aerobics fitness can help you to experience a better quality of life, because life's daily
activities become that much easier when you can perform daily tasks - like walking up
the stairs without getting winded or chasing down a toddler who saw his chance to
make a break for it and took it.
Health Effects of Aerobic Activity
Those are just a few of the noticeable benefits of aerobic activity. Some are more subtle
and can be counted by what doesn't happen or what it prevents.
Aerobic activity can lower the incidence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
It can increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) - which is the good
cholesterol that your body wants and uses.
It can decrease triglyceride levels.
It can help you lose, control or maintain your weight.
It can help to alleviate muscle pain and soreness.
Regular aerobic activity may be effective at lowering your risks of certain types of
cancers.
Getting regular aerobic exercise increases bone density, which helps to prevent the loss
in bone mineralization that leads to osteoporosis.
It strengthens your immune system.
Aerobic exercise can help prevent and control type 2 diabetes by decreasing your
body's insulin requirements and controlling blood glucose.
It increases your energy levels.
Aerobic activity strengthens muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons.
