Question

Which is NOT True about developing aerobic capacity?

A: Exercise for at least 20 minutes/session
B: Train at 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate
C: Train 3 to 5 days per week
D: Train below 50% of maximum effort (the correct answer)
E: Choose a large muscle exercise, such as running or cycling, that stresses the cardiovascular system.

Answer 1

To develop aerobic capacity, it is important to exercise for at least 20 minutes per session, train at 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate, and train 3 to 5 days per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is NOT true about developing aerobic capacity is option D: Train below 50% of maximum effort.

Aerobic exercise is any physical activity that uses muscles at less than their maximum contraction strength but for long periods of time. To develop aerobic capacity, it is important to exercise for at least 20 minutes per session (option A), train at 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate (option B), and train 3 to 5 days per week (option C). Additionally, choosing a large muscle exercise, such as running or cycling, that stresses the cardiovascular system (option E) is also important for developing aerobic capacity.
