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?

    Anaerobic exercises- sprinting, push ups and squat.
    – it improves cardiovascular conditions
    Aerobic exercises- swimming,running,cycling.
    -The Aerobic exercises require your heart to pump lots of blood that deliver oxygen to our muscle.
    Frequently, we do swimming and running which pumps our blood and delivers lots of blood for our muscle!
    We have chosen aerobic exercises as it reduces the risk of many conditions.

    Aerobic helps the heart and anaerobic helps physical appearance and strength. I prefer anaerobic and Saira recommends Aerobic.
    Aerobic excercises are very useful if anyone has a heart condition, aerobic excercises produce more oxygen to pump around the body reducing bad impact of negative coniditons and diseases, meaning aerobic excercises are more useful when trying to cure the human body.

    (Araeboic e.g. swimming, walking, running and jumping)
    3.)I do Araeboic exercises but Bijan does Anaeroboic.
    The types of Araeboics that I do are running, jumping and walking. On the other hand, the types of Anaeroboics that Bijan do are pushups, karate, boxing, rowing, plank and lift weighting.
    4.)Me and Bijan thinks both because for Araeboics the impact is for Pregnant people and for people over the age of at least 60. Now for Anaeroboics it helps people be stronger.

    I believe that aerobic helps our heart more as we get tired faster then anaerobic because when your running you get tired which means that your heart is beating more then when your doing anaerobic exicises.

  22. Umaiza T.

    1) The difference between anaerobic and aerobic is that aerobic is good for the cardiovascular system. Activities that improve the cardiovascular system are: dancing, cycling and running whereas anaerobic exercises improve your muscle strength and it has high intensity
    2) I do aerobic exercises more frequently because I do a lot of running as it keeps me energetic.
    3) I feel like both because when I row heart feels like a brick and when I run I fear like my heart is like a car

  23. Zain A.

    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. Continuous ‘steady state’ exercise is performed aerobically. Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.

    2) I do both and think it should be balanced. If I want a good rowing form I normally do push ups the night and morning before.

    3) I would say it depends on who is doing the exercise. if you are pregnant or old you can go bike riding and swimming. If you have the health you can do aerobic excercises. (Also Anaerobic exercises are more fun. But aerobic exercises will hurt more, but will make you buff.)

    Old people, pregnant people and overweight/disabled people is recommended to do low impact exercises. Overweight and pregnant people are recommended swimming because they don’t carry much weight.
    Anaerobic helps with the strength in your body however, aerobic helps with the cardiovascular system.
