More Facts About Aerobic Activity

“With oxygen” is what the term aerobic means. During an aerobic activity , the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, lungs and blood vessels, responds to physical activity by increasing the oxygen that is available to the body’s working muscles. An exercise routine that uses large muscle groups that is maintained for long periods and is rhythmic in nature is involved in aerobic exercise. Regular aerobic activity improves your fitness as your heart becomes stronger and begins to work better. The result is that the heart can pump more blood (thus increasing oxygen delivery to the tissues) with each heartbeat. As your aerobic fitness increases, working out longer with great intensity and recovering quicker at the end of the session is what you will be able to do.
