Aerobic Exercise Improves Health and Fitness by Making Your Heart a More Efficient Pump!
Have you ever wondered how aerobic exercise improves health and fitness by strengthening the heart and making it a more efficient pump? What beneficial adaptations occur with consistent aerobic exercise training? On this episode of "Fitness Facts," I first describe the structure and function of the heart. Second, I explain how the heart rate is generated and regulated. Third, I explain how to measure resting heart rate. Fourth, I define what aerobic exercise or cardiovascular exercise training is, and provide examples of this type of training. Fifth, I describe the heart’s acute response to a single acute bout of aerobic exercise. Sixth, I discuss how consistent long-term aerobic exercise training causes structural and functional adaptations that strengthen the heart and make it pump more efficiently through various physiological mechanisms. Seventh, I state how much time you must spend training in order to see beneficial adaptations, and how these adaptations increase life span and overall health and fitness. And eighth, last but not least, I provide examples of aerobic training plans that can strengthen your heart and improve its efficiency!
