Year 6: Health is Wealth Wednesday!

Miss Vega

4 Types of Exercise

Today we are going to be looking at how different types of exercise affects our heart and cardiovascular system.

First we looked at what aerobic exercise is: Aerobic exercise is any exercise undertaken to improve the body’s cardiovascular system. Aerobic exercise includes activities like running, cycling and dancing.

We tried to think of as many different types of aerobic exercises that we could… then we acted some out!

Who is recommended to take part in lower-Impact Aerobic Exercise? Why?

Then we looked at what a anaerobic exercise is: Anaerobic exercise is high intensity, high power exercise which aims to build strength rather than endurance. 

What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise?

Which do you do more frequently?

Which has a greater affect on your heart?

    Who is recommended to take part in lower-Impact Aerobic Exercise? Why?
    If you’ve suffered an injury or have come down with an illness, low-impact exercise is an excellent way to maintain your fitness and get your body moving without putting too much stress on your joints. You could also consider low-impact exercise if you are new to working out or are managing joint issues.
    What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise?
    Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration. Continuous ‘steady state’ exercise is performed aerobically. Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.
    Anaerobic exercise involves short, fast, high-intensity exercises that don’t make your body use oxygen like it does for cardio (or aerobic) activities. Instead, anaerobic activities break down glucose that’s already in your muscles for a form of energy.
    Aerobic exercise is cardiovascular exercise, or cardio, that gets your heart pumping. During aerobic exercise, your blood pumps quickly throughout your body and your lungs take in more oxygen. The word aerobic means “with oxygen,” meaning that your breathing determines the amount of oxygen that gets to your muscles.
    Which do you do more frequently?
    I mostly do anaerobic exercise and sometimes do both.
    Which has a greater affect on your heart?
    Aerobic exercise, also known as “cardio” exercise, uses repetitive contraction of large muscle groups to get your heart beating faster and is the most beneficial type of exercise for your cardiovascular system (your heart and blood vessels). Regular cardio workouts can: Strengthen your heart and blood vessels.

    Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen.
    Which do you do more frequently?
    Walking.
    Which has a greater affect on your heart?
    Aerobic exercises are endurance-type exercises that increase a person’s heart and breathing rate over a sustained period.

    1) Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration. Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.
    2) I think people do Aerobic exercises more.
    3) I think Aerobic exercises makes your heart pump more.

    Aerobic means with air and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration. Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.
    People who have illnesses should complete Lower-Impact Aerobic Exercise.

  5. Elyas S.

    Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen.
    Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body not producing energy with using oxygen.

  6. Noah B.

    Aerobic means with air in the body
    Anaerobic means without air in the body.

    What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise?
    Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration. Continuous ‘steady state’ exercise is performed aerobically. Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.
    Which has a greater affect on your heart?
    f you are looking to keep your heart healthy, it is important to engage in regular cardiovascular exercise. Cardio exercise refers to anything that gets your heart beating faster. Aerobic exercise will increase your heart rate and increase the circulation and blood flow throughout the entire body.

    The people that should be recommend to take lower impact aerobic is little kids . aerobic Means with air and refers with the body producing energy white the use of oxygen . anaerobic means whiteout air and refers to the body producing Energy whiteout oxygen . The one you should do Regularly we should do the aerobic . The one that’s have greater affect on your heart is anaerobic .

  9. Musab H.

    The difference between anaerobic and aerobic is that Aerobic means with air which refers to our body producing energy.

  10. Leyad R.

    Aerobic mean.
    ‘with airand refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration.

  11. Yousuf I.

    Who is recommended to take part in lower-Impact Aerobic Exercise? Why?
    Low-impact exercise is generally safer and carries less risk of injury than high-impact exercise. The gentle nature of low-impact exercise makes it an excellent option for individuals who are new to working out, as well as athletes who are injured or in the recovery process.

    What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise?
    Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration.

    Which has a greater affect on your heart?
    Aerobic exercises are endurance-type exercises that increase a person’s heart and breathing rate over a sustained period. Anaerobic exercises involve short, intense bursts of physical activity. Both types of exercise are beneficial for a person’s cardiovascular health. They also provide mental health benefits.

    Which do you do more frequently?

    The CDC recommends an average of 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, along with 2 or more days of strength training (or anaerobic exercise). This breaks down to about 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, or 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, 5 days per week, along with 2 days of strength training.

    The difference between anaerobic and aerobic is that Aerobic means with air which refers to our body producing energy and Anaerobic means without air, this refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.

  14. Sabah S.

    What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise?
    Aerobic is able to work the heart and lungs (cardiovascular system) to help pump the blood and provide oxygen. Anaerobic is without oxygen and releases less energy however quicker than aerobic exercises.

    Which do you do more frequently?
    Aerobic as we do swimming and gardening.

    Which has a greater affect on your heart?
    Aerobic exercises as it pumps the blood flow at a rapid speed

  15. Ilyas I.

    Cycling, running and treadmill are some examples of aerobic exercise as these work the heart more than anaerobic exercises do. Rowing, boxing and push ups are some examples of anaerobic exercises. We do anaerobic exercises more often.

  16. Abdullah A.

    The difference between anaerobic and aerobic is that Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen but Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration.
    I mostly Aerobic exercises then Anaerobic exercises.
    I think both because they both have important exercises.
