1 Your Heart, Lungs, and Circulation The word aerobic means “with oxygen.” Done regularly, aerobic activity strengthens the heart and the lungs. Term to Know Aerobic activities Continuous activity that requires large amounts of oxygen. 2 Your Circulatory System To understand how aerobic activities work, you need to have some knowledge of the circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system. Term to Know Circulatory system Consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. This system is responsible for circulating blood throughout the body. 3 Your Circulatory System The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and rids itself of carbon dioxide. The left side of the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. 4 Your Circulatory System Term to Know Hemoglobin The blood carries oxygen via hemoglobin. An iron-rich compound in the blood that helps carry the oxygen. 5 Your Circulatory System Term to Know Stroke volume When at rest, the heart beats an average of 72 times per minute. The amount of blood pumped per beat of the heart. Your heart rate and stroke volume increase during strenuous physical activity. 6 Your Circulatory System Blood is carried to and from the heart via a network of blood vessels. There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins. 7 Your Circulatory System Term to Know Arteries Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood to the body tissues. Vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the major extremities, such as the arms, legs, and head. 8 Your Circulatory System Term to Know Capillaries Capillaries are blood vessels that carry blood throughout the body. Smaller blood vessels that deliver oxygen and other nutrients to individual cells. 9 Your Circulatory System Term to Know Veins Veins are blood vessels that deliver blood from the capillaries back to the heart via the lungs. Blood vessels that deliver blood back to the heart. 10 Your Circulatory System The oxygen that your blood carries is introduced into your body by means of your respiratory system. Term to Know Respiratory system The body system that exchanges gases between your body and the environment. 11 Your Circulatory System The principal organ of your respiratory system is your lungs. Your lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. 12 Your Circulatory System Term to Know Diaphragm Unlike the heart, the lungs are not a muscle. A muscle found between the chest cavity and abdomen. Rather, they get their power from the diaphragm, the intercostal muscles around the ribs, and the abdominal muscles in the lower stomach area. 13 Your Circulatory System Benefits of Aerobic Activity Strengthens the body Increases stroke volume Lowers your resting heart rate Conditions the muscles used in breathing Results in more effective delivery of oxygen 14 Your Circulatory System One long-term result of regular physical activity is cardiorespiratory endurance. Term to Know Cardiorespiratory endurance The ability of the body to work continuously for extended periods of time. 15 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities There are two sides to total fitness: cardiorespiratory fitness anaerobic fitness 16 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities Aerobic activity must occur over a sustained period of time; anaerobic activity works differently. Term to Know Anaerobic activity Activity that requires high levels of energy and is done for only a few seconds or minutes at a high level of intensity. 17 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities Anaerobic means “without oxygen.” The energy produced in anaerobic activities does not depend on oxygen. 18 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities Term to Know Participation in anaerobic activities leads to anaerobic fitness. Higher levels of muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. anaerobic fitness 19 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities Anaerobic activities require large amounts of energy, a requirement that your body cannot meet for very long. This is because your heart cannot supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your tissues and organs to meet the high demand. 20 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities When you can meet your energy needs by supplying large amounts of oxygen to your body, you are working primarily in an aerobic mode. If you cannot meet the oxygen demands of a high-intensity physical activity, your body is more conditioned to working anaerobically. 21 Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Physical Activities Term to Know Interval training can allow you to work aerobically and anaerobically in the same workout. A program in which high-intensity physical activities alternate with lowintensity recovery bouts for several minutes at a time. Interval training 22
