Aerobic exercise involves physical activity that increases your breathing and heart rate to fuel your body with oxygen-rich blood. Aerobic exercise helps strengthen your heart muscle, improves your lung function, and increases circulation and healthy blood flow throughout your body.

This article will describe the benefits of aerobic exercise, examples, and how to get started.

What Is Aerobic Exercise? 

"Aerobic" means “with oxygen,” so aerobic exercise is any physical activity that involves increased amounts of oxygen throughout your body. As you exercise, your muscles require increased oxygen to contract for a prolonged period. 

With aerobic exercise, cells undergo cellular respiration, in which oxygen and other molecules are converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy source for cells.

Your heart rate will increase to pump more oxygen-carrying blood throughout the body to supply more oxygen to your muscles. Your breathing rate will also increase to bring more oxygen into the body and the bloodstream.

Because aerobic exercise requires increased functioning of your heart and lungs or cardiovascular system, aerobic exercise is often called cardiovascular exercise, or “cardio.”

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise, or “with oxygen,” requires increased oxygen to supply working muscles over a prolonged period, while anaerobic training , or “without oxygen,” involves short bursts of activity in which muscles are fueled by the breakdown of their energy stores.

Benefits of Cardio 

Cardio, or aerobic exercise, is extremely beneficial for maintaining the healthy functioning of your entire body. Regular cardiovascular exercise can:

• Improve heart function and lower resting heart rate
• Improve lung function
• Improve oxygen supply throughout the body
• Improve circulation
• Decrease high blood pressure ( hypertension )
• Decrease inflammation throughout the body
• Improve mood and energy
• Decrease risk of developing conditions like diabetes , heart disease , and stroke
• Lower your blood sugar
• Lower high cholesterol and triglycerides
• Increase weight loss

Do cardio workouts help lose belly fat?

Aerobic exercise is good for weight loss as it increases your energy expenditure as your heart and lungs have to work harder to supply your exercising muscles with oxygenated blood. This increased workload burns more calories and helps to break down fat tissue, which can help you lose weight, including belly fat.

Calories burned with aerobic exercise will vary based on your weight, individual fitness level, exercise intensity, and duration of physical activity.

Examples of Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercises are generally any exercises that get your body moving for a prolonged period, such as:

• Jumping rope
• Stair climbing
• Playing sports

Aerobic Exercises to Do at Home

For many people, exercising at home can be a convenient and effective way to get moving. You essentially have the freedom to work out when you want to. While it has its advantages, there may be distractions and it might be more challenging to stay motivated.

Aerobic exercises you can perform at home include:

• Home video workouts
• HIIT workouts
• Walking, running, or cycling (around your neighborhood)

Aerobic Exercises to Do at a Gym

By joining a gym, you can access a variety of exercise equipment and receive guidance from fitness trainers. However, some drawbacks include membership fees and limited locations and hours.

Aerobic exercises you can do at the gym include:

• Running on the treadmill
• Cycling on a stationary bike
• Climbing steps on a stair machine

Aerobic Exercise Classes

One benefit of working out in a group setting is that it may help increase your motivation. Many people may also find the classes to be fun.

However, like the gym, there are costs to consider. Additionally, there may be less flexibility and a lack of personalization. Nonetheless, there are a variety of classes to choose from.

Cardio or aerobics classes may include:

How Much Aerobic Exercise Should You Do? 

Adults should participate in one of the following physical activity durations each week to promote optimal heart health and lower the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD):

• 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity
• 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity
• An equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous physical activity

Exercise intensity is grouped into the following categories:

• Light intensity : Walking slowly, cooking, light housework
• Moderate intensity : Brisk walking (2.4-4.0 miles per hour), bicycling (5-9 miles per hour), dancing, active yoga, recreational swimming, gardening, vacuuming, raking leaves
• Vigorous intensity : Jogging, running, hiking, bicycling (more than 10 miles per hour), swimming laps, jumping rope, aerobics, weight lifting, stair climbing, shoveling snow

The "talk test" can be used to measure the intensity of your physical activity. If you are participating in a moderate-intensity activity, you should be able to talk but not sing during the activity. If you are participating in a vigorous-intensity activity, you should not be able to say more than a few words without needing to pause to take a breath.

How to Get Started 

Sedentary individuals should start slowly and gradually increase exercise intensity, duration, and frequency. This allows the heart, lungs, and muscles to acclimate to the change in physical activity. For those new to exercise, aerobic exercise can be divided into 10-minute sessions to help make exercise more doable and achievable. 

Shorter durations of physical activity of 10 minutes or less can be just as beneficial as longer durations greater than 10 minutes, as long as the total duration of exercise throughout the week remains the same. Fifteen 10-minute exercise sessions divided throughout the week, for example, can have similar benefits as five 30-minute sessions.

If you cannot meet these recommendations, it is typically better to participate in some form of exercise rather than no exercise unless your healthcare provider advises you to avoid physical activity for medical concerns.

Risks of Aerobic Exercise

While there are many benefits to aerobic exercise, risks may include musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, bone fractures, joint pain, muscle cramps, or soreness. Other risks may include arrhythmias , heart attack , rhabdomyolysis , bronchoconstriction , and sudden cardiac death .

Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning or increasing any exercise program to ensure that your heart, lungs, and blood vessels are healthy enough to support the increased demands of aerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise requires increased oxygen to supply working muscles, which causes your heart rate and breathing to increase. Aerobic exercise, also called “cardio,” involves physical activity performed over a prolonged period. Aerobic exercise includes walking, hiking, running, dancing, bicycling, and playing sports.

This type of exercise helps to improve your heart and lung function, increase circulation, and decrease elevated levels of blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation. When beginning or increasing your aerobic exercise, start slow and gradually increase over time. But, first, make sure your healthcare provider clears you.

Aerobic exercise is important to help maintain optimal heart health and lower the risk of developing inflammatory conditions that affect your entire body. Start off slowly and gradually increase your physical activity intensity, frequency, and duration to allow your body to adapt to the new activity.

Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity.

You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good? From boosting your mood to improving your sex life, find out how exercise can improve your life.

Want to feel better, have more energy and even add years to your life? Just exercise.

The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, no matter their age, sex or physical ability.

Need more convincing to get moving? Check out these seven ways that exercise can lead to a happier, healthier you.

1. Exercise controls weight

Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.

Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.

2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases

Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which lowers your risk of heart and blood vessel, called cardiovascular, diseases.

Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including:

• Metabolic syndrome.
• High blood pressure.
• Type 2 diabetes.
• Depression.
• Many types of cancer.

It also can help improve cognitive function and helps lower the risk of death from all causes.

3. Exercise improves mood

Need an emotional lift? Or need to lower stress after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates many brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious.

You also may feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

4. Exercise boosts energy

Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.

Exercise sends oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.

5. Exercise promotes better sleep

Struggling to snooze? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster, get better sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to go to sleep.

6. Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life

Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and give you more confidence about your physical appearance, which may boost your sex life.

But there's even more to it than that. Regular physical activity may enhance arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise.

7. Exercise can be fun — and social!

Exercise and physical activity can be fun. They give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply do activities that make you happy. Physical activity also can help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting.

So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, or do something with friends or family.

Exercise to feel better and have fun

Exercise and physical activity are great ways to feel better, boost your health and have fun. For most healthy adults, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines:

Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity. Or get at least 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week. You also can get an equal combination of moderate and vigorous activity. Aim to spread out this exercise over a few days or more in a week.

For even more health benefits, the guidelines suggest getting 300 minutes a week or more of moderate aerobic activity. Exercising this much may help with weight loss or keeping off lost weight. But even small amounts of physical activity can be helpful. Being active for short periods of time during the day can add up and have health benefits.

• Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. One set of each exercise is enough for health and fitness benefits. Use a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.

Moderate aerobic exercise includes activities such as brisk walking, biking, swimming and mowing the lawn.

Vigorous aerobic exercise includes activities such as running, swimming laps, heavy yardwork and aerobic dancing.

You can do strength training by using weight machines or free weights, your own body weight, heavy bags, or resistance bands. You also can use resistance paddles in the water or do activities such as rock climbing.

If you want to lose weight, keep off lost weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.

Remember to check with a health care professional before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any concerns about your fitness or haven't exercised for a long time. Also check with a health care professional if you have chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes or arthritis.

Benefits Of Aerobics Report

Aerobics is a type of physical exercise that involves rhythmic movements with stretching and strength-training routines aimed at improving all the aspects of fitness that include flexibility, muscular strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It is mainly carried out in a group setting, at the directions of an instructor, with background music. Nevertheless, individual performance with or without the accompaniment of music is often undertaken. Ideally, aerobics exercises performance is for at least 30 minutes a day, 20 minutes of which are used to make a performance at a taxing degree of intensity. Participants in the exercise perform various routines comprising of diverse dance-like exercises. Official classes of aerobics are designated into different levels depending on the fitness level of the participants. These exercises are energetic, vigorous, regular, and last long enough to offer essential health benefits to the body (“What is aerobic?” para 1).

The benefits of aerobic exercise are best realized by increasing the heart rate and practicing hard breathing for a prolonged period. For the period of the exercise, the body gives out more energy and transports more oxygen to the muscles. The heartbeat increases and fastens the flow of blood to the muscles and back to the lungs. This builds up the heart, improves its strength to pump blood more proficiently, and increases the rate of circulation of blood throughout the body.

Aerobic fitness is a vital asset in emergency crises such as earthquakes, floods, loss in the wilderness, and other bizarre situations. The capability of one to move out safely or to endure such conditions depends on one’s ability to walk, run, swim, climb, and carry out other activities (“Aerobic Fitness Information”).

Aerobic fitness is associated with the health of individuals. In the United States alone, more than 800,000 citizens die every year from heart-related complications (“Aerobic Fitness Information” para.1). These heart diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States. The risk factors for these complications include inactivity, high levels of cholesterol, excessive smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Study after study has proved that inactivity is the predominant factor responsible for heart diseases. It is two times as crucial as high levels of cholesterol and four times more crucial than high blood pressure. Therefore, aerobic exercise lowers the risk of death due to heart attack and it is a proven method of rehabilitating individuals suffering from a heart attack.

Aerobic exercises play a role in conditioning the cardiovascular system that is composed of heat and the lungs. They increase the level of oxygen present in the body and enable the heart to utilize oxygen more efficiently. It improves aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, and an individual’s exercise capacity. These cardiovascular activities when done routinely assist in diminishing the onset of heart diseases (“Stop aging-Start Training” para.2).

It has been demonstrated through studies that cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure levels can all be significantly lowered by undertaking regular cardiovascular conditioning. Reduction in high blood pressure levels has been reported even in people who already have been diagnosed as suffering from hypertension. One study particularly proved that the arteries lining (endothelium) in individuals who are aerobically active remained flexible, better able to grow and expand, and demonstrated an increased efficiency in the passage of blood platelets. Loss of this flexibility of artery lining often results in atherosclerosis and another type of heart disease (“Stop aging-Start Training” para.3).

Aerobic exercise is a vital factor during the growth and development of children and teenagers. It is also of the essence in the process of aging. The practice of aerobic fitness at the stages of active growth is an indication of a good development of the muscles, bones, and cardiovascular system. At old age, aerobic exercise is a fundamental evaluation of one’s physiological fitness. A 60-year-old person with elevated aerobic fitness may be perceived that he or is 15-20 years younger with respect to the situation of that individual’s different body systems. Moreover, they tend to have an increased life span. (“Aerobic fitness information”)

Aerobics fitness measures the capacity of one to maintain prolonged efforts, it establishes the level of fatigue that everyone gets along with in daily life. An aerobically fit person is capable of withstanding stress due to two uncommon environmental conditions: extreme heat, and high altitude. Persons who have undergone aerobic training are able to exercise much longer than untrained individuals are. These exercises boost the mood of an individual as they relieve the gloominess of depression, ease the tension linked with anxiety, and improve the relaxation of persons.

In order for weight to be lost, a calorie deficit must be created that increases the rate of burning of calories to exceed the quantities taken in. Engaging in activities that burn up high quantities of calories is an excellent way to undertake a calorie-controlled diet to assist in getting rid of the unwanted pounds in the body. As an example, 30 minutes of low-paced jogging utilizes about 300 calories of energy. This is possible of making a significant input towards realizing the essential calorie deficit for weight loss, or on the other hand, it can give one a bar of chocolate that one may feel less guilty about having a meal. Aerobic fitness is one of the best solutions when an individual wants to manage his or her weight. These exercises control the levels of blood sugar and increase the body’s metabolic rate hence is fundamental in burning more calories together with an improvement in the levels of energy of the individual.

Aerobic exercises are economical to perform. People do not need to deprive themselves of their last coins in their wallets since activities like walking, running, and many others are easy and involve fun to perform. Moreover, the body’s immune system increases on the undertaking of these activities. Unwanted diseases are eliminated from the body and significantly lower the problems associated with flu and colds alongside other health-related complications like diabetes, obesity, certain types of cancer, osteoporosis, and diseases of the heart. These activities improve the quality of sleep and refresh an individual’s next morning.

The superb medicine constantly tastes bitter. This can be illustrated by the example of aerobic fitness, which most of the time is underrated among the options when individuals are advised to carry them out to improve their health. How many people are aware that performing aerobic exercises is one of the proven best ways of maintaining a good healthy life? After the performance, one feels better about herself or himself and there is no one side effect associated with it. Aerobics fitness has many potential benefits that everyone should embrace in keeping the doctor away.

Exercise is typically one of the first management strategies advised for patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Together with diet and behavior modification, exercise is an essential component of all diabetes and obesity prevention and lifestyle intervention programs. Exercise training, whether aerobic or resistance training or a combination, facilitates improved glucose regulation. High-intensity interval training is also effective and has the added benefit of being very time-efficient. While the efficacy, scalability, and affordability of exercise for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes are well established, sustainability of exercise recommendations for patients remains elusive.

Type 2 diabetes has emerged as a major public health and economic burden of the 21st century. Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that diabetes affects 29.1 million people in the United States, 1 and the International Diabetes Federation estimates diabetes effects 366 million people worldwide. 2

As these shocking numbers continue to increase, the cost of caring for patients with diabetes is placing enormous strain on the economies of the US and other countries. In order to manage and treat a disease on the scale of diabetes, the approaches need to be efficacious, sustainable, scalable, and affordable.

Of all the treatment options available, including multiple new medications and bariatric surgery (for patients who meet the criteria, discussed elsewhere in this supplement), 3 – 5 exercise as part of a lifestyle approach 6 is a strategy that meets the majority of these criteria.

The health benefits of exercise have a long and storied history. Hippocrates, the father of scientific medicine, was the first physician on record to recognize the value of exercise for a patient with “consumption.” 7 Today, exercise is recommended as one of the first management strategies for patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and, together with diet and behavior modification, is a central component of all type 2 diabetes and obesity prevention programs.

The evidence base for the efficacy, scalability, and affordability of exercise includes multiple large randomized controlled trials; and these data were used to create the recently updated exercise guidelines for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes, published by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and other national organizations. 8 – 10

Herein, we highlight the literature surrounding the metabolic effects and clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes following exercise intervention, and point to future directions for translational research in the field of exercise and diabetes.

It is known that adults who maintain a physically active lifestyle can reduce their risk of developing impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. 8 It has also been established that low cardiovascular fitness is a strong and independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. 11 , 12 Indeed, patients with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely than healthy individuals to suffer from cardiovascular disease, due to the metabolic complexity and underlying comorbidities of type 2 diabetes including obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. 13 , 14

Additionally, elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels are predictive of vascular complications in patients with diabetes, and regular exercise has been shown to reduce HbA1c levels, both alone and in conjunction with dietary intervention. In a meta-analysis of 9 randomized trials comprising 266 adults with type 2 diabetes, patients randomized to 20 weeks of regular exercise at 50% to 75% of their maximal aerobic capacity (VO 2max ) demonstrated marked improvements in HbA1c and cardiorespiratory fitness. 11 Importantly, larger reductions in HbA1c were observed with more intense exercise, reflecting greater improvements in blood glucose control with increasing exercise intensity.

In addition to greater energy expenditure, which aids in reversing obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, exercise also boosts insulin action through short-term effects, mainly via insulin-independent glucose transport. For example, our laboratory and others have shown that as little as 7 days of vigorous aerobic exercise training in adults with type 2 diabetes results in improved glycemic control, without any effect on body weight. 15 , 16 Specifically, we observed decreased fasting plasma insulin, a 45% increase in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, and suppressed hepatic glucose production (HGP) during carefully controlled euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps. 15

Although the metabolic benefits of exercise are striking, the effects are short-lived and begin to fade within 48 to 96 hours. 17 Therefore, an ongoing exercise program is required to maintain the favorable metabolic milieu that can be derived through exercise.

EXERCISE MODALITIES

Aerobic exercise.

The vast majority of the literature about the effects of exercise on glycemic parameters in type 2 diabetes has been centered on interventions involving aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise consists of continuous, rhythmic movement of large muscle groups, such as in walking, jogging, and cycling. The most recent ADA guidelines state that individual sessions of aerobic activity should ideally last at least 30 minutes per day and be performed 3 to 7 days of the week ( Table 1 ). 18 Moderate to vigorous (65%–90% of maximum heart and rate) aerobic exercise training improves VO 2max cardiac output, which are associated with substantially reduced cardiovascular and overall mortality risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. 19

American Diabetes Association recommendations for exercise in type 2 diabetes

Notably, aerobic exercise is a well-established way to improve HbA1c, and strong evidence exists with regard to the effects of aerobic activity on weight loss and the enhanced regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. 8 For example, in a 2007 report, 6 months of aerobic exercise training in 60 adults with type 2 diabetes led to reductions in HbA1c (−0.63% ± 0.41 vs 0.31% ± 0.10, P < .001), fasting plasma glucose (−18.6 mg/dL ± 4.4 vs 4.28 mg/dL ± 2.57, P < .001), insulin resistance (−1.52 ± 0.6 vs 0.56 ± 0.44, P = .023; as measured by homeostatic model assessment), fasting insulin (−2.91 mU/L ± 0.4 vs 0.94 mU/L ± 0.21, P = .031), and systolic blood pressure (−6.9 mm Hg ± 5.19 vs 1.22 mm Hg ± 1.09, P = .010) compared with the control group. 14

Furthermore, meta-analyses reviewing the benefits of aerobic activity for patients with type 2 diabetes have repeatedly confirmed that compared with patients in sedentary control groups, aerobic exercise improves glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, oxidative capacity, and important related metabolic parameters. 11 Taken together, there is ample evidence that aerobic exercise is a tried-and-true exercise modality for managing and preventing type 2 diabetes.

Resistance training

During the last 2 decades, resistance training has gained considerable recognition as a viable exercise training option for patients with type 2 diabetes. Synonymous with strength training, resistance exercise involves movements utilizing free weights, weight machines, body weight exercises, or elastic resistance bands.

Primary outcomes in studies evaluating the effects of resistance training in type 2 diabetes have found improvements that range from 10% to 15% in strength, bone mineral density, blood pressure, lipid profiles, cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity, and muscle mass. 18 , 20 Furthermore, because of the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes with aging, coupled with age-related decline in muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, 21 resistance training can provide additional health benefits in older adults.

Dunstan et al 21 reported a threefold greater reduction in HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes ages 60 to 80 compared with nonexercising patients in a control group. They also noted an increase in lean body mass in the resistance-training group, while those in the nonexercising control group lost lean mass after 6 months. In a shorter, 8-week circuit weight training study performed by the same research group, patients with type 2 diabetes had improved glucose and insulin responses during an oral glucose tolerance test. 22

These findings support the use of resistance training as part of a diabetes management plan. In addition, key opinion leaders advocate that the resistance-training-induced increase in skeletal muscle mass and the associated reductions in HbA1c may indicate that skeletal muscle is a “sink” for glucose; thus, the improved glycemic control in response to resistance training may be at least in part the result of enhanced muscle glycogen storage. 21 , 23

Based on increasing evidence supporting the role of resistance training in glycemic control, the ADA and ACSM recently updated their exercise guidelines for treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes to include resistance training. 9

Combining aerobic and resistance training

The combination of aerobic and resistance training, as recommended by current ADA guidelines, may be the most effective exercise modality for controlling glucose and lipids in type 2 diabetes.

Cuff et al 24 evaluated whether a combined training program could improve insulin sensitivity beyond that of aerobic exercise alone in 28 postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes. Indeed, 16 weeks of combined training led to significantly increased insulin-mediated glucose uptake compared with a group performing only aerobic exercise, reflecting greater insulin sensitivity.

Balducci et al 25 demonstrated that combined aerobic and resistance training markedly improved HbA1c (from 8.31% ± 1.73 to 7.1% ± 1.16, P < .001) compared with the control group and globally improved risk factors for cardiovascular disease, supporting the notion that combined training for patients with type 2 diabetes may have additive benefits.

Of note, Snowling and Hopkins 26 performed a head-to-head meta-analysis of 27 controlled trials on the metabolic effects of aerobic, resistance, and combination training in a total of 1,003 patients with diabetes. All 3 exercise modes provided favorable effects on HbA1c, fasting and postprandial glucose levels, insulin sensitivity, and fasting insulin levels, and the differences between exercise modalities were trivial.

In contrast, Schwingshackl and colleagues 27 performed a systematic review of 14 randomized controlled trials for the same 3 exercise modalities in 915 adults with diabetes and reported that combined training produced a significantly greater reduction in HbA1c than aerobic or resistance training alone.

Future research is necessary to quantify the additive and synergistic clinical benefits of combined exercise compared with aerobic or resistance training regimens alone; however, evidence suggests that combination exercise may be the optimal strategy for managing diabetes.

High-intensity interval training

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has emerged as one of the fastest growing exercise programs in recent years. HIIT consists of 4 to 6 repeated, short (30-second) bouts of maximal effort interspersed with brief periods (30 to 60 seconds) of rest or active recovery. Exercise is typically performed on a stationary bike, and a single session lasts about 10 minutes.

HIIT increases skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, glycemic control, and insulin sensitivity in adults with type 2 diabetes. 28 , 29 A recent meta-analysis that quantified the effects of HIIT programs on glucose regulation and insulin resistance reported superior effects for HIIT compared with aerobic training or no exercise as a control. 28 Specifically, in 50 trials with interventions lasting at least 2 weeks, participants in HIIT groups had a 0.19% decrease in HbA1c and a 1.3-kg decrease in body weight compared with control groups.

Alternative high-intensity exercise programs have also emerged in recent years such as CrossFit, which we evaluated in a group of 12 patients with type 2 diabetes. Our proof-of-concept study found that a 6-week CrossFit program reduced body fat, diastolic blood pressure, lipids, and metabolic syndrome Z-score, and increased insulin sensitivity to glucose, basal fat oxidation, VO 2max , and high-molecular-weight adiponectin. 30 HIIT appears to be another effective way to improve metabolic health; and for patients with type 2 diabetes who can tolerate HIIT, it may be a time-efficient, alternative approach to continuous aerobic exercise.

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE FOR SPECIFIC METABOLIC TISSUES

Within 5 years of the discovery of insulin by Banting and Best in 1921, the first report of exercise-induced improvements in insulin action was published, though the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms that underpin these effects remain unknown. 31

There is general agreement that the acute or short-term exercise effects are the result of insulin-dependent and insulin-independent mechanisms, while longer-term effects also involve “organ crosstalk,” such as from skeletal muscle to adipose tissue, the liver, and the pancreas, all of which mediate favorable systemic effects on HbA1c, blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and serum lipid profiles ( Figure 1 ).

Tissue-specific metabolic effects of exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Skeletal muscle

Following a meal, skeletal muscle is the primary site for glucose disposal and uptake. Peripheral insulin resistance originating in skeletal muscle is a major driver for the development and progression of type 2 diabetes.

Exercise enhances skeletal muscle glucose uptake using both insulin-dependent and insulin-independent mechanisms, and regular exercise results in sustained improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose disposal. 32

Of note, acute bouts of exercise can also temporarily enhance glucose uptake by the skeletal muscle up to fivefold via increased (insulin-independent) glucose transport. 33 As this transient effect fades, it is replaced by increased insulin sensitivity, and over time, these 2 adaptations to exercise result in improvements in both the insulin responsiveness and insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle. 34

The fuel-sensing enzyme adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the major insulin-independent regulator of glucose uptake, and its activation in skeletal muscle by exercise induces glucose transport, lipid and protein synthesis, and nutrient metabolism. 35 AMPK remains transiently activated after exercise and regulates several downstream targets involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and function and oxidative capacity. 36

In this regard, aerobic training has been shown to increase skeletal muscle mitochondrial content and oxidative enzymes, resulting in dramatic improvements in glucose and fatty acid oxidation 10 and increased expression of proteins involved in insulin signaling. 37

Adipose tissue

Exercise confers numerous positive effects in adipose tissue, namely, reduced fat mass, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and decreased inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation has been integrally linked to type 2 diabetes and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. 38

Several inflammatory adipokines have emerged as novel predictors for the development of atherosclerosis, 39 and fat-cell enlargement from excessive caloric intake leads to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, altered adipokine secretion, increased circulating fatty acids, and lipotoxicity concomitant with insulin resistance. 40

It has been suggested that exercise may suppress cytokine production through reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and improved adipocyte function. 41 Levels of the key pro-inflammatory marker C-reactive protein is markedly reduced by exercise, 14 , 42 and normalization of adipokine signaling and related cytokine secretion has been validated for multiple exercise modalities. 42

Moreover, Ibañez et al 43 demonstrated that in addition to significant improvements in insulin sensitivity, resistance exercise training reduced visceral and subcutaneous fat mass in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The liver regulates fasting glucose through gluconeogenesis and glycogen storage. The liver is also the primary site of action for pancreatic hormones during the transition from pre- to postprandial states.

As with skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, insulin resistance is also present within the liver in patients with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, impaired suppression of HGP by insulin is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes, leading to sustained hyperglycemia. 44

Approaches using fasting measures of glucose and insulin do not distinguish between peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance. 45 Instead, hepatic insulin sensitivity and HGP are best assessed by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique, along with isotopic glucose tracers. 15

Although more elaborate, magnetic resonance spectroscopy may also be used to assess intrahepatic lipid content, as its accumulation has been shown to drive hepatic insulin resistance. 46 Indirect measures of hepatic dysfunction may be made from increased levels of the circulating hepatic enzymes alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase, and aspartate transaminase. 16

From an exercise perspective, we have shown that 7 days of aerobic training, in the absence of weight loss, improves hepatic insulin sensitivity. 15 It has also been shown that hepatic AMPK is stimulated during exercise, suggesting that an AMPK-induced adaptive response to exercise may facilitate improved suppression of HGP. 47 We have also shown that a longer 12-week aerobic exercise intervention reduces hepatic insulin resistance, with and without restricted caloric intake. 48 Further, HGP correlated with reduced visceral fat, suggesting that this fat depot may play an important mechanistic role in improved hepatic function.

Insulin resistance in adipose tissue, muscle, or the liver places greater demand on insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. For many, this hypersecretory state is unsustainable, and the subsequent loss of beta-cell function marks the onset of type 2 diabetes. 49 Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and glucagon levels are generally poor indicators of beta-cell function.

Clinical research studies typically use the oral glucose tolerance test and hyperglycemic clamp technique to more accurately measure the dynamic regulation of glucose homeostasis by the pancreas. 50 However, few studies have examined the effects of exercise on beta-cell function in type 2 diabetes.

Dela and colleagues 51 showed that 3 months of aerobic training improved beta-cell function in type 2 diabetes, but only in those who had some residual function and were less severely diabetic. We have shown that a 12-week aerobic exercise intervention improves beta-cell function in older obese adults and in patients with type 2 diabetes. 52 , 53 We have also found that improvements in glycemic control that occur with exercise are better predicted by changes in insulin secretion as opposed to peripheral insulin sensitivity. 54 It has also been shown that a relatively short (8-week) HIIT program improved beta-cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes. 55 And we recently found that a 6-week CrossFit training program improved beta-cell function in adults with type 2 diabetes. 30

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Regular exercise produces health benefits beyond improvements in cardiovascular fitness. These include enhanced glycemic control, insulin signaling, and blood lipids, as well as reduced low-grade inflammation, improved vascular function, and weight loss.

Both aerobic and resistance training programs promote healthier skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and pancreatic function. 18 Greater whole-body insulin sensitivity is seen immediately after exercise and persists for up to 96 hours. While a discrete bout of exercise provides substantial metabolic benefits in diabetic cohorts, maintenance of glucose control and insulin sensitivity are maximized by physiologic adaptations that only occur with weeks, months, and years of exercise training. 15 , 33

Exercise intensity, 11 volume, and frequency 56 are associated with reductions in HbA1c; however, a consensus has not been reached on whether one is a better determinant than the other.

The most important consideration when recommending exercise to patients with type 2 diabetes is that the intensity and volume be optimized for the greatest metabolic benefit while avoiding injury or cardiovascular risk. In general, the risk of exercise-induced adverse events is low, even in adults with type 2 diabetes, and there is no current evidence that screening procedures beyond usual diabetes care are needed to safely prescribe exercise in asymptomatic patients in this population. 18

Future clinical research in this area will provide a broader appreciation for the interactions (positive and negative) between exercise and diabetes medications, the synergy between exercise and bariatric surgery, and the potential to use exercise to reduce the health burden of diabetes complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and peripheral arterial disease.

Moreover, basic research will likely identify the detailed molecular defects that contribute to diabetes in insulin-targeted tissues. The emerging science surrounding cytokines, adipokines, myokines, and, most recently, exerkines is likely to deepen our understanding of the mechanistic links between exercise and diabetes management.

Finally, although we have ample evidence that exercise is an effective, scalable, and affordable approach to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes, we still need to overcome the challenge of discovering how to make exercise sustainable for patients.

• Exercise is often the first lifestyle recommendation made to patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
• Together with diet and behavior modification, exercise is central to effective lifestyle prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.
• All exercise, whether aerobic or resistance training or a combination, facilitates improved glucose regulation.
• In addition to the cardiovascular benefits, long-term exercise promotes healthier skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and liver and pancreas function.
• Exercise programs for patients with type 2 diabetes should be of sufficient intensity and volume to maximize the metabolic benefit while avoiding injury and cardiovascular risk.

Physical Exercise Essay - 100, 200, 500 Words

A critical factor in determining health is physical exercise. Everyone benefits from physical activity, which not only keeps you healthy and robust but, when started early, can form positive habits for life. However, there are occasions when people neglect their physical health, leading to problems that harm our health. Here are a few sample essays on physical exercise.

100 Words Essay on Physical Exercise

200 word essay on physical exercise, 500 words essay on physical exercise, importance of exercise, types of exercises.

"Health is Wealth" happiness comes from having good health. Physical fitness and mental alertness can be accomplished by exercise. We all should play different types of sports for physical fitness. Physical activity can help us maintain good health and keep away from diseases. Many diseases happen due to a lack of physical activity, like heart problems, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. We should do a variety of yoga and physical exercise to stay in good physical and mental health. Yoga is one of the best forms of exercise for maintaining good health and can also help in reducing stress.

Physical exercise is essential for maintaining physical fitness and can contribute to maintaining a healthy weight, regulating the digestive system, and building and maintaining nutritional bone density.

Various Kinds of Physical Exercise

There are numerous ways to exercise, including walking, riding a bike, swimming, and playing various outdoor sports. Following are some of the activities that people can do to remain physically fit—

Yard work (mowing, raking)

Climbing stairs or hills.

Playing outdoor sports.

Importance:

People without good health cannot enjoy the abundance of wealth. Physical exercise improves our memory and brain function among all age groups. It protects against many chronic diseases. Physical activity helps in weight management and improves heart health. Most importantly, it reduces feelings of anxiety and depression and improves our quality of sleep.

Disadvantages of Not Exercising

Circulatory System Problems

Weight Gain

Joint and Bone Fragility

Lack of Endurance

Lack of Physical Strength When You Need It.

Loss of Balance

Loss of Flexibility

Loss of Mobility

Engaging in regular physical activity always produces improvements in physical health and psychological well-being. Physical exercise reduces the risk of diseases, improvements in physical functioning, and fitness, and overall improves quality of life.

Exercise is the repetitive performance of physical work or physical exercise to unwind the body and relieve mental stress. Physical Exercise should be done every day throughout everyone's life.

If someone exercises regularly, the benefits of doing so are frequently noticeable relatively fast. A person needs to be physically and intellectually fit because, as we have all heard, "A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body". So exercising every day is necessary if one wants to stay healthy and fit. In our daily lives, exercise is essential. It helps in maintaining our physical fitness.

Exercise will help you lose weight rapidly if you're overweight because it burns calories while working out. Even though you aren't exercising, your body's weight will increase as your muscles grow, which will cause you to burn more calories than usual. Exercise will also help improve our body's blood flow and oxygen levels.

Exercise causes the brain cells to release them more frequently, which helps in the hippocampus's generation of new cells. The brain's hippocampus is the area that assists in memory regulation and learning.

Reducing vital signs, which can assist in lessening the strain on your heart, is one of the additional health benefits of exercise for the soul.

Your body will have a low risk of getting cardiac ailments if you exercise regularly and eat healthily.

Exercise also helps to control our body's blood sugar levels. They will contribute to the prevention or postponement of type 2 diabetes. One of the leading causes of diabetes is being overweight, which can be managed with daily exercise.

Exercise helps in revitalising and reconditioning our entire body. It helps in the development of strong muscles. Exercise can help people lose weight or prevent obesity. It preserves the young and slows down the process of ageing.

Exercise is essential for maintaining health and fitness because it is necessary for all aspects of life.

Everyone should exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay free from diseases.

Both mental and physical development is essential for success in life . Exercise is, therefore, crucial for one's general development. We should keep a healthy balance between school, rest, and activities.

• Morning walk

Gymnastics exercise

Free-Hand Exercises

Outdoor sports

My Experience

At the age of 16, I was too fat and unable to run for more than 5 minutes. Due to my weight, I was suffering from many types of diseases. Soon after this, my father pushed me to exercise every morning because exercise frees our body and mind from stress. Every morning my father and I started going to the garden to do activities like yoga, morning walk, flexibility, and many more. In school, our physical education teacher also took all children to the ground to exercise and play outdoor games. Later, I noticed that I was recovering slowly from several diseases and lost a lot of weight. I could see the difference in my energy levels and overall performance and realised that we all should exercise every day.

            Aerobic exercise is vital to staying healthy and fit. The benefits that it offers are many, helping a person achieve physical and even emotional fitness. Aerobic literally means "with oxygen." Aerobic exercise includes any activity that uses large muscle groups and can be done continuously over a period of longer than five minutes. Aerobic exercise increases one's heart rate and expands the lungs. Promoting general fitness, aerobic exercise conditions one's cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as increases one's endurance. An aerobically-fit individual has more stamina, and thus can work longer and more vigorously than one who is not as fit. As exercise becomes more frequent, the endurance of a person escalates. Besides this, it has also been proven that it reduces stress, increases oxygen flow, strengthens nervous and immune systems, provides more energy, and gives one a sense of well-being. In order to maintain one's health, it is recommended to exercise five times a week, for at least thirty minutes. One's heart rate should be at sixty to ninety percent of an age-specific maximum heart rate in order to achieve fitness. One's daily schedule should include cardiovascular activity such as housework, gardening, walking, etc. Most doctors agree that walking is a great tool for fitness, as it can give a better workout than most gym machines. Also, it does not require equipment, and it has the least risk of injury than any other aerobic exercise. Another aerobic exercise, swimming, aids the joints, and is a balanced muscular workout that can promote relaxation. Cycling builds leg muscles. There is a numerous variety of aerobic activities that can suit nearly any person's goals and abilities. Aerobic exercise builds up an individual in strength, endurance, and well-being, and therefore should be a top priority for most people. .

• Type: Essay

Most people think that every exercise is the same, but there is a big difference in all exercises. Do you know the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercises? What about the benefits they both give and which one benefits you most? Aerobic exercises also called cardiovascular exercises are any sustained, rhythmic activity that affects the large muscle groups and makes the lungs work harder as the body’s need for oxygen increases. Many benefits come with doing aerobic exercises.

According to http://www.newellness. com/physfitn/benaero.htm, “Aerobic exercise improves the strength of your bones, ligaments and tendons, allows your body to use fats and sugars more efficiently, burns lots of calories and plays an important role in reducing the onset and symptoms of aging and illness. ” Also, “reduces your risk of heart disease, vascular disease and diabetes and can help those trying to quit smoking by

relieving cravings and improving lung function. ” This quote shows that aerobic exercises provide a long, healthy life with happiness and increases a positive attitude in you. Some examples of aerobic exercises are walking, jogging, running, swimming, biking, jump roping, etc.

Anaerobic exercises are those that last for shorter periods of time but are performed at higher intensities. Most athletes in non endurance sports and body builders do anaerobic exercises for strength, speed, power, and to build muscle mass. http://en. m. wikipedia. org/wiki/Anaerobic_exercise states that anaerobic exercises lead to greater performance in short durations and high intensity activities which last from seconds up to a couple minutes. Some benefits that anaerobic exercises give are reduced body fat, increased strength and balance, stronger bones, a healthier mind, speed, and power.

Examples of some exercises would includ

sprinting and heavy weight lifting. The difference between aerobic and anaerobic refers to the presence and absence of oxygen. “During aerobic exercise with adequate fuel and oxygen, muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobic or non-oxygen conditions muscle cells must rely on other reactions that do not require oxygen to fuel muscle contraction. ” To achieve the best possible level of fitness, your routine needs to include both aerobic and anaerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise increases your breathing and heart right for an extended period of time while anaerobic exercise involves strong bursts of energy for short periods of time. Because they are performed at different levels of intensity, your body responds to them differently. Which exercise benefits you the best is the one that is recommended for you to do. Both aerobic and anaerobic exercises are great workouts for you but one will always benefit you more than the other. Now that you know the benefits and difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise, you can choose what exercise is suitable for you and leads you to a healthier lifestyle.

Regular exercise prevents DNA damage with aging

by Mario Boone, American Physiological Society

Regular aerobic exercise later in life prevents genomic instability characterized by DNA damage and telomere dysfunction, according to a study from the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit , the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS), in Long Beach, California.

"These new findings will greatly impact our understanding of the mechanisms of how aerobic exercise improves vascular health at the level of genomic stability," says Jisok Lim, Ph.D.

Late-life exercise used to be thought of as ineffective. However, existing studies indicate aerobic exercise later in life lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease-related mortality. Yet, the specific factors contributing to this effect have not been completely understood.

Researchers examined whether regular exercise with aging may prevent DNA damage and telomere dysfunction. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes. In this study, exercise was shown to be especially helpful in cells that come in direct contact with blood flow ( endothelial cells ). The benefits of aerobic exercise are particularly noticeable in the aortic regions less prone to atherosclerosis due to favorable blood flow patterns.

During the four-month study, 15 male mice were given access to a voluntary running wheel. The mice were assigned to high-, moderate- and low-running groups based on their consistent running distances. Aortic tissues exposed to different blood flow patterns were collected to evaluate DNA damage and telomere function. The findings suggest the increased level of exercise later in life has a beneficial impact on DNA damage and telomere dysfunction.

There are many contributing factors to arterial aging. The driving factor among them is DNA damage. While more study in this area is needed, physiologists hope these findings lay the groundwork for improving human health in the future.

"By revealing the varied responses of aortic regions experiencing different blood flow patterns and cell types to aerobic exercise , this research will provide a firm ground on a detailed and customized approach to interventions for cardiovascular health," said Jisok Lim, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Utah and lead author of the study.
