Over the years, due to the different development history and fitness concept, we have some wrong understanding of aerobics. For example, if aerobics is mistaken for the exercise of all joint activities, and long-term jumping exercise is added to increase the amount of exercise, this understanding seems to be limited to the external performance of aerobics' health and beauty, but fails to grasp its internal essence and essence. Judging from the current development of aerobics abroad, the activities of each joint are only a part of the warm-up (preparation) of aerobics practice, and long-term jumping exercise has great damage to human knees and ankles, which should be avoided as far as possible. Necessary exercise is obtained through a lot of walking, moderate low-intensity jumping and simple upper limb movements, and aerobic exercise is the most important part of aerobics' influence on human body. Another misunderstanding is about strength training. Due to the differences between eastern and western concepts, many women think that excessive muscle mass affects the appearance, so in the past, most of the aerobics classes in China were based on complex coordinated movements of the upper and lower limbs. The main purpose is to improve the coordination of the body, especially the lack of upper limb strength training. In fact, strength exercise is also aerobic exercise. Proper strength exercise can not only increase muscle elasticity, shape body shape, but also delay aging, which is an important part of aerobics practice. As long as the correct methods are mastered, muscles can only become more beautiful and make people look younger and more energetic.
Aerobics can be divided into fitness aerobics and competitive aerobics. Competitive aerobics is developed on the basis of fitness aerobics, which is the inevitable product of the development of fitness aerobics to a certain stage, thus making aerobics a real sport. The main purpose of competitive aerobics is "competition". In the competition, athletes have to complete many difficult technical movements with music within 1 minute and 45 seconds, so there are high requirements for athletes' overall physical quality and technical level. It can be seen that competitive aerobics is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which is not suitable for us ordinary people as a means of exercise. The main exercise purpose of aerobics is "fitness", so the movements are relatively simple, the music speed is slow, and the physical quality of the practitioners is not high, which is suitable for most people to practice. Coupled with the characteristics of diverse movements, strong sense of rhythm and comprehensive influence on the body, aerobics is loved by more and more people and has a very broad mass base. At present, in foreign countries, with the rapid development of aerobics and the continuous diversification of people's needs, many new forms of aerobics practice have emerged, such as: stepping exercise to increase the amount of exercise without increasing the burden on lower limb joints; Water aerobics suitable for the elderly and practitioners in the recovery period of injury; Young people's favorite fighting aerobics; What women are interested in is yoga calisthenics that can adjust their body balance and improve their posture, as well as many calisthenics with different characteristics and suitable for different objects. The emergence of these different forms of aerobics has increased the diversity of aerobics, so that people with different needs can find their own aerobics practice forms, thus attracting more people to participate in aerobics and promoting the further development of aerobics. At present, some large and medium-sized cities with good aerobics foundation in China have introduced some new aerobics practice forms, such as step exercise and boxing exercise, and gradually approached the international level in content selection and practice methods, such as adopting the step-based circular exercise method and increasing the proportion of strength exercises, especially upper limb strength exercises. Make China aerobics develop in a more international and scientific direction.
The main purpose of people participating in aerobics exercise should be fitness and entertainment. Here we have a better understanding of the fitness function of aerobics, but we have a different understanding of entertainment. In fact, any sports activity is related to entertainment. Pursuing happiness is human nature and natural psychological demand. It is the first criterion of fitness aerobics to achieve the purpose of fitness while having fun. Therefore, aerobics should first pay attention to the psychological feeling and emotional experience of the practitioners, that is to say, the enthusiasm and vitality, happiness and self-confidence shown by the practitioners, as well as the sense of accomplishment of self-realization. Because everyone's physical condition and exercise level are different, participating in aerobics should be based on individual differences and self-feeling, excluding the idea of competition, taking safety and no damage as the principle, taking self-fitness as the standard, and not demanding too much on technology and body posture. Entertainment is our first consideration.
In recent years, with the renewal of people's health concept, spending money on health has become the knowledge of many people. More and more people take part in physical exercise, and more and more people like aerobics. Aerobics has become an important part of the sports fitness industry. In this situation, there have been some forms of self-proclaimed aerobics. In order to standardize the market and promote the healthy development of aerobics, China Aerobics Association launched the aerobics mass exercise standard and aerobics instructor system last year, which increased the professional training of aerobics instructors. Inviting foreign experts to give lectures in China has enhanced the information exchange at home and abroad. These measures have played a great role in improving the professional level of aerobics practitioners in China, updating their concepts and absorbing the advanced experience of aerobics development abroad, thus promoting the rapid development of aerobics in China. I believe that more people will participate in aerobics in the future.
