aerobic exercise (redirected from Aerobic training)

exercise /ex·er·cise/ (ek´ser-sīz) performance of physical exertion for improvement of health or correction of physical deformity.

---

active exercise  motion imparted to a part by voluntary contraction and relaxation of its controlling muscles.

aerobic exercise  that designed to increase oxygen consumption and improve functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

endurance exercise  one that involves the use of several large groups of muscles and is thus dependent on the delivery of oxygen to the muscles by the cardiovascular system.

isokinetic exercise  dynamic muscle activity performed at a constant angular velocity; torque and tension remain constant while muscles shorten or lengthen.

isometric exercise  active exercise performed against stable resistance, without change in the length of the muscle.

isotonic exercise  active exercise without appreciable change in the force of muscular contraction, with shortening of the muscle.

Kegel exercises  exercises performed to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle.

passive exercise  motion imparted to a part by another person or outside force, or produced by voluntary effort of another segment of the patient's own body.

range of motion exercise  the putting of a joint through its full range of normal movements, either actively or passively.

resistance exercise , resistive exercise that performed by the patient against resistance, as from a weight.

aerobic exercise,

any physical exercise that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet the striated muscles' increased demand for oxygen. Aerobic exercise increases the breathing rate and ultimately raises heart and lung efficiency. Prolonged aerobic exercise (at least 20 minutes three times a week) is recommended for the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system. Examples of aerobic exercise include running, jogging, swimming, and vigorous dancing or cycling. Also called aerobics. Compare anaerobic exercise. See also active exercise, passive exercise.

aerobic exercise,

n sustained repetitive physical activity, such as walking, dancing, cycling, and swimming, that elevates the heart rate and increases oxygen consumption resulting in improved functioning of cardio-vascular and respiratory systems.

---

aerobic

a microbe or microbiological process that functions fully only in the presence of free oxygen.

---

aerobic effluent treatment

the activated sludge method of handling sewage and abattoir effluent.

aerobic exercise

moderate exercise performed in the circumstance where the blood supply is able to maintain an adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues during the exercise.

Patient discussion about Aerobic training.

Q. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions regarding aerobic exercise post DVT and/or PE?

A. drink a lot of water and be aware. if you take your meds i think there shouldn't be a problem, but i strongly recommend asking your physician about it. he knows you and the problem and can give you a much much better answer.

Q. Regular participation in aerobic exercise lowers an individual's risk of developing cancer? I am a regular participant of aerobic, so the regular participation in aerobic exercise lowers an individual's risk of developing cancer?

A. You have some reason to be happy. Research suggests that exercise often modifies some of the risk factors associated with certain kinds of cancer. Obesity has been linked to cancer of the breast and the female reproductive system. Regular exercise has been shown to help promote weight loss. Several studies have also found that men who worked at sedentary jobs for most of their lives had a greater incidence of colon cancer than those in more active jobs. Exercise will not compensate the effects of a high-fat diet or smoking. Still it can contribute, even indirectly, to a reduced risk of cancer. As such, exercising regularly is recommended by the ACS [American Cancer Society] as an integral part of its cancer prevention program.
