The combustion of gasoline is inseparable from oxygen, so we can also call the work of the engine aerobic exercise. Similarly, human beings burn fuel when they exercise. The "fuels" of human beings are sugar, protein and fat. These "fuels" of mankind are stored in human cells. When you exercise, you will consume these "fuels" to gain motivation.
Just as an engine burns gasoline, human beings also need oxygen to support combustion when burning "fuel" (that is, oxidation). People breathe heavily during exercise, so that oxygen in the air enters the blood circulation system through alveoli, and then flows into the tissues and cells of the whole body with arterial blood flow. This is a long process.
Low-intensity, long-term exercise is basically aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, long-distance slow swimming, cycling, dancing and so on. Aerobic exercise can effectively exercise the heart, lungs and other organs, and can improve the cardiovascular and pulmonary functions.
In the process of using oxygen, there is a considerable time difference, which determines that intense and short-term exercise becomes anaerobic exercise. When you exercise long enough, oxygen has dissolved into jogging, and the glucose in your body is fully "burned" and converted into new energy. Such exercise is aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercise requires a lot of breathing air, which is a good exercise for the heart and lungs and can enhance vital capacity and heart function.
Long-term adherence to aerobic exercise can increase the amount of hemoglobin in the body, improve the body's resistance, resist aging, enhance the efficiency of cerebral cortex and cardiopulmonary function, increase fat consumption, prevent arteriosclerosis, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If dieters combine aerobic exercise with reasonable food arrangement, not only can they lose weight successfully, but their weight will also be consolidated. Aerobic exercise is also very beneficial to mental workers. In addition, aerobic exercise can also restore physical fitness.
Patients with type II diabetes, obesity and fatty liver must do aerobic exercise. People with arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis of the heart and brain, and the elderly should also do aerobic exercise. If it is to strengthen muscles, keep fit and prevent disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, osteoporosis and osteomalacia, then people should do anaerobic exercise.
