They are thus named to all those activities where exercises are performed consecutively and constantly for a period of time greater than two minutes, generally such actions are carried out at a medium intensity. Aerobic physical activities are very beneficial for the body, in addition to this it has great utility as an excellent tool to increase the resistance of a specific area, this is demonstrated when high performance athletes put them into practice in order to increase their resistance level in a competition.
Aerobic physical activity is reached at the moment in which the intensity of the heart rate exceeds 180 beats per minute and it is possible to maintain it for a period of time greater than two minutes, however it is difficult to do it for a longer time since the great demand that is placed on the cardiovascular and muscular system is such that they end up fatigued. When it comes to planning in order to improve physical performance, It is not always mandatory to start with performance, since it can improve progressively as the training days go by, thus increasing greater intensity and amount of exercises that will be the basis for improving physical condition, an example of this It can be observed in athletes such as swimmers, athletes etc.
According to recent research, the recommended intensity with which aerobic physical activities should be performed should be between 55 and 85 percent of the maximum level of oxygen consumption of the body. To be able to measure the intensity with which aerobic physical activities are carried out, the beats per minute must be measured, in men it is considered that the maximum beats per minute is 220, for a heart in a healthy physical state, in the In the case of women, it is 210, from this number the age of the subject in question must be subtracted and the number of beats per minute will result.
This practice is very beneficial, in the case of overweight people it is a good tool to lose weight, since this type of activity uses fat as a source of energy, it also helps to improve blood circulation, which allows can make greater efforts.
