What is Aerobics? Write the benefits of Aerobics with examples and write down evolution of Aerobics in detail.

                                     

Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching and strength training routines to improve and strengthen an individual's entire cardiovascular system- heart, lungs, and blood vessels- through regular aerobic activities.

               It uses your large muscle groups. It is rhythmic in nature and can be maintained continuously for a few minutes.

        Hence, aerobic is a system of physical conditioning that increases the efficiency of the body's intake of oxygen, thereby stimulating the cardiovascular system, developing endurance, and reducing body fat.


To be effective aerobic training must include a minimum of 3 to 4 sessions per week.

 EXAMPLES:

Some of the examples of aerobics are:-

- Recreation Centre or gym classes.

- biking

- hiking

- swimming 

- walking

- running

- jogging

- dancing

- Zumba

- Aerobic dance classes

- Low-impact aerobics 

- High- impact aerobics

- Circuit or interval training

- yoga


         Regardless of age, weight, or athletic ability, aerobic activity is good for us. Aerobic activity has many health benefits, no matter what is our age. As the body adapts to regular aerobic exercise you will get stronger and fitter.


BENEFITS:

Consider the following 10 ways that aerobic activity can help you feel better and enjoy life to the fullest. 

Benefits of Aerobic are:- 

- increases the efficiency of respiration.

- improves blood volume, distribution, and delivery to muscles.

- improves cardiovascular efficiency.

- increases the stroke volume or the amount of blood pumped from the ventricle during each contraction of the heart.

- improves sleep.

- increases cardiac output, or the volume of blood pumped by the heart each minute.

- improve the condition and efficiency of breathing muscles.

- decreases resting heart rate.

- improves the condition and efficiency of breathing muscles.

- improve the efficiency of movement.

- improve the body's ability to use fat as an energy source.

- improve body composition by decreasing body fat.

- strengthens muscles.

- strengthens ligaments, tendons, and bones

- helps to decrease anxiety and stress.

- helps to feel better overall.


EVOLUTION:

Evolution of aerobics:-

- The concept of aerobics stems or evolves from a book published "Aerobics" in 1968 and "The aerobics way" in 1977, written by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, an English physiologist of the United States Air Force.

- Dr. Cooper explained that Aerobic exercise helps to prevent disease and in order to live a healthy life you must exercise regularly.

- After publishing of Cooper's book with respect to the exercise system. In aerobics in 1968, a person called Jacky Sorenson developed a series of dance routines known as the aerobic dance to generously improve the cardiovascular fitness.

- So, aerobic dance and other forms of exercise gain existence and made their way prudently between the masses all over the United States and many other countries, and that too in a very short span of around two decades.

- The number of aerobic participators in the US alone raises from an estimated 6 million in 1978 to 19 million in 1987.

- Cooper's system uses point charts to rate the aerobic value of various exercises for different age groups. As individuals progressively upgrade the quantity and quality of their exercise, they can gauge the improvement in their physical condition through the point system.

- In the 1980s aerobics was popularized by Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons through workout videotapes and instructional programs.

- Sometimes called group fitness, aerobics is most often practiced in health and fitness clubs where the lead of an instructor whose movements are synchronized to up-tempo popular music.

- In the year of 1983 Howard and Karen Schwartz developed a very new and competitive sport called sport-aerobics. In the year 1984, their group organization known as the sports fitness International has the credit of organizing the first national aerobic championship.

- Sports-aerobics at the beginning, started featuring competition in four categories namely individual male and female common, mixed pairs, and trio which have the facility to include any of the three athletes.

- In the year 2002 the competition was improved to a group of 6 athletes. The verdict towards the competitors is alone on a one minute, forty-five seconds routine done to music. judges elect two criteria namely the artistic merit and the technical merit with an overall 10 points each.

- In 1996 sport-aerobics was officially adopted as a Gymnastic discipline.

                                    Chameleon  #Comments:-  Habit and Habitat=> Chameleon have adapted to a large variety of ecosystems. They can be found in tropical rainforests, savannas, and even deserts. The majority of Chameleon species live in trees, but a few species live on the ground too. Chameleons are best known for their ability to camouflage by changing their body color. They are acrodonts i.e. their teeth are attached to the edge of the jaw. They have a pair of eyes, which can move independently. A group of atrophied venom glands is present which produce harmless and trace amounts of venom. The tongue is long and is kept in rolled manner inside the mouth which can go into a projectile as soon as a prey comes in its range. They have prehensile (capable of grasping) tails that can wrap I'm a coil-like manner around limbs to maintain balance. Most species are egg layers.
