What is high-impact aerobic exercise?

Aerobic exercise is mainly divided into two categories: high-impact aerobic exercise and low-impact aerobic exercise.

1. High-impact aerobic exercise is a traditional exercise, such as long-distance running, swimming and table tennis.

2. Low-impact aerobic fitness refers to the exercise with slow rhythm frequency but long exercise time, such as skipping rope, rotating left and right, jogging and brisk walking. (Aerobics can also be divided into these two categories according to the degree of influence.)

Comparatively speaking, low-impact aerobic exercise is more popular, because it can reduce the chances of athletes being injured.

Specific sports include jogging, swimming, cycling, walking, running in situ, aerobics and so on. Outdoor sports such as brisk walking, jogging, running, mountain climbing, boating and cycling, as well as various aerobic sports accompanied by music, or using some sports equipment, including rowing machines, treadmills or stationary bicycles, are all forms of aerobic sports.

1. Strengthening the heart: The heart receives oxygen-filled blood from the lungs and then delivers it to all parts of the body. It will gradually strengthen by delivering a lot of oxygen to the heart through aerobic exercise.

2. Restore vascular elasticity: The more oxygen you take, the more blood flow increases. Under this good circulation, blood vessels will strengthen and restore elasticity, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis.

3. Purify blood: The increase of oxygen intake will inevitably increase the red blood cells that transport oxygen. At this time, cholesterol attached to the inner wall of blood vessels will become easy to flow and will be purified by blood.

4. Burning fat: The burning state of an object is called oxidation. Of course oxygen is needed at this time. In the same way, so is the human body. One of the important tasks of oxygen is thermal metabolism.
