Introduction[edit | edit source]
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) defines aerobic exercise as any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously and is rhythmic in nature.[1]
Aerobic exercises are typically moderate-intensity exercises performed to improve cardiovascular function.[2]
As the name suggest these kind of exercises depend primarily on aerobic energy- production i.e. muscle groups activated by this type of exercise rely on aerobic metabolism to extract energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from amino acids, carbohydrates and fatty acids.[1]
Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, cycliny, swimming, jogging etc.
