AEROBICS

*Aerobics is a system of exercises done with

accompanying music.

Aerobics exercises improve cardiovascular fitness,

respiratory capacity and muscular endurance.They
can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

They enchance the ability of the body to move air into

and out of the lungs and boost the flow of blood to all
parts of the body .
OTHER BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISES

1.AEROBIC EXERCISE PROMOTES STRONG

AND HEALTHY BONES.

As you grow older ,your bones tend to demineralize or

lose calcium.They become weak and brittle that
fractures and breaks become a real threat.However ,
various studies have shown that to some extent ,bone
strength is related to physical activity.The bone ,like the
muscle ,tends to get thicker the more it is used and
exercise.
2.AEROBIC EXERCISE HELPS CONTROL PHYSICAL
AND EMOTIONAL STRESS.
It helps improve your outlook in life and self-concept .It brings
about a feeling of well-being and satisfaction .It helps reduce
anxiety and depression.

3.AEROBIC EXERCISE HELPS IMPROVE INTELLECTUAL

CAPACITY AND INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY.

In general a fit of individual can think,,understand ,remember ,

and respond more quickly.
 4.AEROBIC EXERCISE IS A REALISTIC WAY TO LOSE
WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF
It helps burn calories and excess body fats and at the same time helps
maintain your desired body weight.

5.AEROBIC EXERCISE PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT PROTECTION FROM

HEART DISEASE .
Overweight and obesity increase the amount of LDL(low density
lipoprotein)or bad cholesterol in the blood .High cholesterol can lead to
heart disease .On the other hand ,exercise promotes weight control and
thus lowers the level of LDL and increases the level of HDL (high density
lipoprotein )or good cholesterol.Hence exercise eventually helps lower
the risk of developing heart disease .

RISK FACTOR
Cardiovascular risk factor-is a condition that is
associated with an increased risk of developing
cardiovascular disease.
 A.RISK FACTORS THAT
CANNOT BE CHANGED
1.FAMILY HISTORY
If a first -degree blood relative has had coronary heart disease or
stroke before the age of 55 years (for a malerelative )or 65 years (for
a female relative ) you might be at risk of contracting at the same
disease.
2.AGE
Through the years the heart undergoes subtle physiologic
changes even in the absence of disease.The muscle of the aged
heart may relax less completely between beats ,and as aresult ,
the pumping chambers become stifferand may work
less efficiently.
3.GENDER
Men are at a greater risk of heart disease than pre -menopausal
women .Once past the menopause ,a woman's risk is similar to
man's .The risk of stroke ,however,is the same for both men and
women.

PRINCIPLES OF BALANCE
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF BALANCE

DIET
Diet plays a crucial role in achieving and sustaining health
and fitness.Exercise ,rest,and vitamins and suplements
will not do you much good in your effort to develop a
healthybody without proper diet.In fact ,without proper
nutrition ,you may not even have the energy to participate
in a regular ecercise program.The condition of your body
and the effectivess of your workouts are directly related to
the quality and quantity of the food you take .
HYDRATION
Hydration is another essential factor in keeping the
body fit and healthy while preventing the development
of kidney stones and bowel cancers.The lack or loss of
fluids in the body causes dehydration ,which stresses
the heart and blood vessels.The body finds it more
difficult to rid itself of excess heat .Severe hydration or
when water losses are more than two percent of body
weight ,can icrease the pulse rate and body
temperature ,resulting in fatigue ,apathy,and decreased
performance.
OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE
The overload principle in exercise means that the body will adjust
to the weight that is palced on it .During physical activities the
heart beats faster ,the lungs work harder ,and the muscles take on
more strain than they usually do.Hence you will find the first day
of exercise difficult that you experience various body pain
s .Nevertheless,as you continue with the exercise ,the body is
able to adopt to the load and overcome the stress.
 REST AND RECOVERY

Rest and recovery help the body reach its optimal level
of development and performance.During workouts you
place demands on your body beyond normal,hence it
needs to rest and recover from the physiological
changes that take place.rest enables the body to repair
and strengthen itself.Recovery allows it to replenish
energy,repair damaged tissues,and remove chemicals
that build up as a result of cell activity during exercise.
 BAD HABITS TO BE
AVOIDED

Using Steriods and Recreational Drugs

Anabolic steriods are synthetic hormones prescribed by
doctors to treat specific medical conditions.Other than this,
their use for the purpose of enchancing an athlete's
performance and strength is tantamount to cheating,prohibited
by professional sports organizations and medical associations ,
and punishable by law.Excessive and prolonged use of steroids
may result in liver dysfunction and cancer ,sterility,
unpredictable aggresive behavior ,increased blood pressure,
coronary heart disease ,kidney tumors,and even death.
 Drinking Alcohol
Excessive and uncontrolled intake of alcohol can
lead to alcoholism,dependence on alcohol ,or
alcohol abuse .It can impair judgment and
sensibilities .It can cause gastritis (an inflammation
of the stomach)or malnutrition because the person
loses interest in food .It can result in liver disorder
and cancers of the liver ,larynx,esophagus,and
tounge .It can alter a person's normal living pattern
and ruin relationships and careers.
 Smoking
Cigarette smoking entices boys and girls of your
age as form of pleasure and as a symbolic
passage to adulthood .However the bleak truth
about smoking is that it increases the risks for
cancer and heart and respiratory
diseases.Smokers have less endurance ,poorer
physical performace ,and increased rates of injury
and complications from physical activity.
