The concept of aerobics

First, the concept of aerobics

Aerobics is a mass fitness exercise method that combines gymnastics, dance and other action groups in aerobics according to the physiological and psychological characteristics of practitioners, and exercises with the accompaniment of music to improve health, cultivate correct posture, shape beautiful body and cultivate beautiful sentiment. There are still differences on the attribution of aerobics, which can be summarized into two main types:

Aerobics is a branch of gymnastics system, which is the development of basic gymnastics content in gymnastics, and at the same time absorbs some simple movements in dance.

Aerobics is a branch of bodybuilding, and its content is to organically combine various items according to the requirements of bodybuilding. The "exercise" of aerobics is neither physical exercise in a broad sense nor gymnastics in a narrow sense, but an exercise form with the characteristics of pertinence, comprehensiveness, symmetry, rhythm and repetition. Although aerobics is closely related to sports, its content and characteristics are beyond the scope of gymnastics and should belong to bodybuilding gymnastics.

The functions of aerobics mainly include:

① Promote the normal development of the body, enhance the functions of muscle ligaments and internal organs, develop basic physical qualities such as flexibility and coordination, and improve health and physique.

② Cultivate correct posture and correct bad posture.

(3) Coordinate the development of muscle groups in different parts of the human body, make the human body develop harmoniously and shape the body.

④ Cultivate correct aesthetic concepts, good manners, personality and morality, and cultivate beautiful sentiments.

Second, the characteristics of aerobics

Aerobics is a novel movement that combines gymnastics, dance, martial arts and other contents to form a single movement and a complete set of movements accompanied by music, and achieves fitness effects through physical exercise of participants and pursues perfect body shape. Its characteristics can be roughly summarized as follows:

1. The purpose of exercise

The purpose of aerobics is to organically combine physical beauty, physical beauty, movement beauty and spiritual beauty on the basis of fitness, pay attention to the training of external beauty and emphasize the cultivation of internal beauty. This unity of health and beauty is the expression of the essential characteristics of aerobics, and it is also an important sign that aerobics is different from other aerobics and health exercises.

2. The practice is targeted and scientific.

Aerobics is based on the sex, age, occupation and physical condition of the object, and guided by multidisciplinary scientific theories such as human physiology, human anatomy, nutrition, psychology, human modeling and sports aesthetics. The structure, quantity, sequence, time, function, shape, heart rate, oxygen metabolism and many other factors of each set of movements have been scientifically measured and analyzed, so the pertinence is clear and scientific.

3. Integrity of action

The movements of aerobics come from the unarmed movements and formations in gymnastics, and the basic movements of modern dance, classical ballet and national folk dance. However, these movements are no longer simple gymnastics and dance movements, but re-create the unique movements of aerobics according to the characteristics of aerobics, which are pragmatic, simple, beautiful, lively and changeable, flexible, with small joints and symmetrical activities. Through scientific and orderly arrangement, combination and repetition, these movements become an action whole with specific functions.

4. Harmony of music

Music is closely related to aerobics and is an indispensable part of aerobics. Coordinated with the movements, the rhythm is clear, which can produce inspiring effects, make the practitioners enter the artistic conception, give full play to their imagination, and achieve the purpose of regulating emotions, recovering fatigue and cultivating sentiment.

Third, the classification of aerobics

Aerobics is a comprehensive marginal subject in physical education. With the continuous development of aerobics, there are two kinds.

There are many kinds. In order to be easy to distinguish and use, it is necessary to classify these calisthenics reasonably. At present, the commonly used classification basis of aerobics mainly includes purpose, gender, age, practice mode, human anatomical structure, number of participants and so on. Referring to these bases, this paper adopts the following classification for aerobics:

1. According to the purpose, it is divided into fitness aerobics and competitive aerobics;

2. According to gender, it is divided into women's aerobics and men's aerobics;

3. According to age, it is divided into old-age aerobics, middle-aged aerobics, adolescent aerobics and children aerobics;

4. According to the practice methods, it can be divided into unarmed aerobics and light equipment or special equipment aerobics, such as fitness ball aerobics;

5. According to the anatomical structure of human body, it can be divided into neck aerobics, abdominal aerobics and leg aerobics.

6. According to the number of participants, it is divided into individual aerobics and group aerobics.

In the process of creating an aerobics, we should determine its classification position and name it according to the above main characteristics. For some aerobics named after someone or something, such as Jane. Fangda aerobics, disco aerobics and aerobics should be classified according to the above basis.
