ABSTRACT:
Aerobic exercise is physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process. Aerobic literally means "living in air", and refers to the use of oxygen to adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. Generally, light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time. Aerobic literally means oxygen referring to the consumption of oxygen by the metabolic system. It involves a little warm up activity at the start and another minimum 20 minutes of exercise. Aerobic exercises are vital in weight loss activities. Jackson (1987) stated that aerobic exercises depends upon the continuous action of a number of groups of muscles over a period of time, they get fitter than you are able to get from longer periods out of your muscles.
