Classification of sports

Exercise is divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise:

1. Aerobic exercise refers to physical exercise performed by the human body under the condition of sufficient supply of oxygen. That is, during exercise, the oxygen inhaled by the human body is equal to the demand, reaching a physiological balance state.

2. The classification of anaerobic exercise is derived from the classification of the metabolic process of skeletal muscles during human exercise. The current concept of anaerobic exercise is also based on the anaerobic metabolic energy supply system. For example, anaerobic exercise refers to the exercise of human muscles in a state of anaerobic energy supply and metabolism.

Exercise misunderstandings:

1. The more intense the exercise, the better: doing too much useful exercise will have the opposite effect. Experts point out the dangers of exercising too much. This is especially true for people who are just starting to exercise. The body needs to rest and recover. In fact, it is during rest periods that we expect the positive effects from exercise to occur.

And after exercising to a certain extent, the effect will diminish. If you exercise three times a week and you've been successful, you won't get double the benefits if you exercise six times a week. The benefits can only be slightly increased. You also increase your risk of injury by overdoing it. Moderation is the best approach, whether eating or exercising.

2. Don’t eat before exercising: This question must vary from person to person. In fact, it may be better to start exercising after eating. Doing some gentle exercise after a meal may burn more calories than exercising long after a meal. Therefore, taking a walk after a meal makes certain medical sense.

3. It is best to exercise in the morning: Unless you are ordered to do so in the military, you do not have to exercise in the morning. Exercise whenever is most convenient for you. Experts recommend that the only exception is during hot weather seasons, when to avoid the hottest and most humid moments, you should exercise in the morning and evening.
