Question4. Most of a teen's activity each day should be spent doing (anaerobic/aerobic) activities.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? Which type of exercise, anaerobic (short bursts of energy) or aerobic (longer duration), should teens focus on? Watch out! Don't mix up anaerobic and aerobic – think about which one is better for overall health and sustained activity!
STEP 2
1. Understand Anaerobic Exercise
2. Understand Aerobic Exercise
3. Determine Recommended Teen Activity
STEP 3
Anaerobic exercise involves **short bursts of intense activity**.
Think of things like **weightlifting** or **sprinting**.
It's all about *power*!
STEP 4
Aerobic exercise involves **longer periods of moderate activity**.
Think **swimming**, **running**, or **biking**.
It's about *endurance*!
STEP 5
Guidelines recommend teens get **60 minutes** of moderate to vigorous physical activity *daily*.
This helps build **strong muscles and bones**, improve **cardiovascular health**, and maintain a **healthy weight**.
STEP 6
While short bursts of anaerobic activity are important, the bulk of a teen's daily activity should focus on aerobic exercise.
Think about it: It's easier to get in of biking than of sprinting!
STEP 7
Aerobic activities should make up most of a teen's daily exercise.
