aeróbias

Aeróbias, also known as aerobic exercise, refers to physical activity that increases heart rate and breathing for a sustained period. It relies on the body's aerobic metabolism, a process that uses oxygen to produce energy. This type of exercise is characterized by its rhythmic and repetitive nature, engaging large muscle groups.

Examples of aerobic activities include walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, dancing, and using an elliptical machine. The intensity of aerobic exercise can be varied, from low to moderate to vigorous, depending on an individual's fitness level and goals. Regular aerobic exercise offers numerous health benefits. It strengthens the cardiovascular system, improving heart and lung function. This can lead to lower blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease, and better cholesterol levels.

Furthermore, aerobic exercise aids in weight management by burning calories and boosting metabolism. It also enhances mood, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves sleep quality. For optimal results, guidelines typically recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities.
