Aerobic exercise refers to the physical exercise carried out by the human body under the condition of adequate oxygen supply. That is to say, in the process of exercise, the oxygen inhaled by the human body is equal to the demand, achieving physiological balance. Simply put, it refers to any rhythmic exercise with a long time (about 15 minutes or more) and moderate or above intensity (75% to 85% of the maximum heart rate). Whether it is "aerobic exercise" is measured by heart rate. Exercise with heart rate 150 beats/min is aerobic exercise, because blood can supply enough oxygen to myocardium at this time; So it is characterized by low intensity, fast pace and long duration. It is required that the exercise time should not be less than 1 hour, and it should be carried out 3 to 5 times a week.
