Exercise :: Aerobic exercise

Aerobic exercise is a type of exercise in which muscles draw on oxygen in the blood as well as fats and glucose, that increase cardiovascular endurance. Aerobic exercise is not to be confused with aerobics, which is a type of aerobic exercise but far from the only one.

Oxygen, fats, and glucose are used to produce adenosine triphosphate, the basic fuel for all cells.

Aerobic exercises are those like running (but not sprinting), jump rope, cycling, and long distance swimming, as well as a number of other exercises performed at gyms. Some video games like Dance Dance Revolution also require aerobic exertion.
