Whereas exercise had previously been limited to classes, these workout videos made aerobics easily accessible to anyone with a video player. The videos were very popular because they combined the entertaining and high-energy instruction of a group class with the convenience of an at-home workout. Workout videos have since evolved with series like P90X and Insanity bringing more intense workouts to your home.
These videos push the limit of a home workout, using simple equipment like dumbbells and pull-up bars to put you through multiple full-body routines. In the s, Gin Miller developed step aerobics as a low-impact alternative to the dance fitness classes that were growing in popularity.
Her classes exploded in popularity because she could accommodate people with lower levels of fitness and those with injuries. Read more: High-Impact Aerobics Vs. Low Impact. From this point, group fitness classes began to explode in creativity and popularity. Health clubs and gyms began offering group classes to members. Group training studios popped up and franchise their workouts.
Aerobic workout videos exploded in popularity as well, some of them even being featured on cable networks. Boxing, kickboxing, dance and bootcamp-style workouts are all extremely popular. Spin studios also attract members and attention. Over time, these focused workouts have fused into each other and HIIT workouts developed, which are a combination of bodyweight movements, weightlifting and cardio exercises.
The boutique fitness trend happening now emphasizes studios that offer just aerobics classes, rather than traditional gym memberships. Aerobic capacity refers to the maximum amount of oxygen consumed by the body during intense exercises, in a given time frame.
It is a function both of cardiorespiratory performance and the maximum ability to remove and utilize oxygen from circulating blood. To measure maximal aerobic capacity, an exercise physiologist or physician will perform a VO 2 max test, in which a subject will undergo progressively more strenuous exercise on a treadmill, from an easy walk through to exhaustion.
The individual is typically connected to a respirometer to measure oxygen consumption, and the speed is increased incrementally over a fixed duration of time. The higher the measured cardiorespiratory endurance level, the more oxygen has been transported to and used by exercising muscles, and the higher the level of intensity at which the individual can exercise. More simply put, the higher the aerobic capacity, the higher the level of aerobic fitness.
The Cooper and multi-stage fitness tests can also be used to assess functional aerobic capacity for particular jobs or activities. The degree of an individual's responsiveness is highly heritable, suggesting that this trait is genetically determined. Higher intensity exercise, such as High-intensity interval training HIIT , increases the resting metabolic rate RMR in the 24 hours following high intensity exercise, ultimately burning more calories than lower intensity exercise; low intensity exercise burns more calories during the exercise, due to the increased duration, but fewer afterwards.
Aerobic exercise has long been a popular approach to achieving weight loss and physical fitness, often taking a commercial form. Aerobic versus anaerobic exercise Aerobic exercise and fitness can be contrasted with anaerobic exercise, of which strength training and short-distance running are the most salient examples. Fox and Haskell formula showing the split between aerobic light orange and anaerobic dark orange exercise and heart rate.
Aerobic Capacity Aerobic capacity describes the functional capacity of the cardiorespiratory system, the heart, lungs and blood vessels.

In the s Judi Sheppard Missett helped create the market for commercial aerobics with her Jazzercise program In the s Richard Simmons hosted an aerobic exercise show on television, and also released a series of exercise videos In the s Billy Blanks's Tae Bo helped popularize cardio-boxing workouts that incorporated martial arts movements.

Sport-aerobics at the beginning, started featuring competition in four categories namely individual male and female, mixed pairs and trio which have the facility to include any of the three athletes.
In the year the competition was improved to a group of six athletes. The verdict toward the competitors is done on a one minute, forty-five seconds routine done to music. Judges elect two criteria namely the artistic merit and the technical merit with an overall 10 pints each.
