  7. What to Know About Exercise and Health-Related Fitness • Exercise is planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement done to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness. • There are five kinds of exercises: aerobic, anaerobic, isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  8. What to Know About Exercise and Health-Related Fitness • Aerobic exercise • Aerobic exercise is an exercise in which large amounts of oxygen are required continually for an extended period of time. • Anaerobic exercise • Anaerobic exercise is an exercise in which the body’s demand for oxygen is greater than what is available during exertion. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  9. What to Know About Exercise and Health-Related Fitness • Isometric exercise • An isometric exercise is an exercise in which a muscle is tightened for about 5–8 seconds and there is no body movement. • Isotonic exercise • An isotonic exercise is an exercise in which a muscle or muscles move against a resistance weight and/or gravity 8–15 times. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  10. What to Know About Exercise and Health-Related Fitness • Isokinetic exercise • Isokinetic exercise is an exercise that uses special machines to provide weight resistance through the full range of motion. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  11. What to Know About Exercise and Health-Related Fitness What changes can you make to include more exercise in your lifestyle? Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  12. Cardiorespiratory Endurance • Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. • This kind of endurance improves as you regularly participate in aerobic exercises, such as jogging or swimming. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  13. What to Know About Cardiorespiratory Endurance • Heart and lung function and metabolic rate • Cardiorespiratory endurance helps your heart and lungs function more efficiently and improves your metabolic rate. • Physical activities that promote cardiorespiratory endurance burn calories. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

  14. What to Know About Cardiorespiratory Endurance • Healthful aging • Healthful aging also is promoted because physical activities that promote cardiorespiratory endurance activate antioxidants. • Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from being damaged and also tie up free radicals, which are highly reactive compounds that can damage body cells and are believed to be one cause of aging. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.
