Explanation:

11. What is aerobic exercise?

Aerobic exercise is physical activity that uses large muscle groups and is sustained for a period, relying on oxygen to generate energy (via aerobic metabolism). It improves cardiovascular fitness, like increasing heart and lung efficiency.

Examples include activities where the body uses oxygen for energy over time. Running (jogging), cycling (stationary or road), swimming, brisk walking, dancing (like Zumba), and rowing are common, as they involve large - muscle movement and sustained effort.

Anaerobic exercise is high - intensity, short - duration physical activity that doesn't rely on oxygen for energy production (uses anaerobic metabolism, like glycolysis). It builds muscle strength and power, such as weightlifting or sprinting, where the body can't get enough oxygen to meet energy demands quickly.

Answer:

Aerobic exercise is sustained physical activity (e.g., running, cycling) that uses oxygen to generate energy, improving cardiovascular fitness.
