	CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
		Aerobics are a form of continuous exercise which demands oxygen but not to the extent of forcing the participant to stop.
		Aerobic exercise at low and medium levels can be sustained mainly by fat but as the exercise intensity increases, the oxygen available becomes limiting, and more glycogen is called upon.
		At rest or when exercising there is an increase in the amount of fat oxidized by the trained muscles and a corresponding reduction in the amount of carbohydrate oxidized.
