Aerobic Weight Training

Aerobic exercise lowers the heart rate and blood pressure. It increases the maximal oxygen consumption, thereby improving the cardiovascular function. The blood supply to the muscles are increased and thereby the ability to use oxygen. Blood volume and the capacity to carry oxygen is enhanced. The maximal stroke volume and maximal cardiac output are increased. The workload on the heart is decreased for any intensity of the exercise. The blood triglycerides are decreased. The HDL cholesterol level increases. Body fat is reduced and weight control is improved. The threshold for accumulation of lactic acid is increased. It improves the appearance.

Aerobics, such as bicycle helps in pedalling away from the ground, thereby preventing the joints from any impact or injury. They are low impact activities and are performed for longer duration. Aerobics or cardio exercises increases the lung and heart capacity. This thereby enhances the number of blood vessels. This increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients delivered to the target cell. This also increases the waste product elimination from the body. Aerobics also enhances the strength of performance, both physically and psychologically. It helps in overcoming the lactic acid burning resulting in fatigue. Aerobics stimulate endorphins, which increases the stamina of athletes.
