In physical exercise, aerobic exercise is complementary to anaerobic
exercise. Aerobic literally means "with oxygen", and refers
to the use of oxygen in muscles' energy-generating process. Aerobic
exercise includes any type of exercise, typically those performed
at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time, that
maintains an increased heart rate. In such exercise, oxygen is used
to "burn" fats and glucose in order to produce adenosine
triphosphate, the basic energy carrier for all cells. Initially
during aerobic exercise, glycogen is broken down to produce glucose,
but in its absence, fat starts to decompose instead. This latter
is a slow process, and is accompanied by a decline in performance
level. The switch to fat as fuel is a major cause of what marathon
runners call "hitting the wall." Paradoxically, if one
wants to lose fat, the most efficient way to do this (according
to some scientists), is by executing prolonged exercises when feeling
weak and hungry. |
