Aerobics movement is in this environment to get factory rapid development, showing more diversified and scientific development trend.

Aerobics from the perspective of human health has a good effect, especially for weight control and weight loss and improve body shape and posture, improve coordination and sense of rhythm has a good effect.

In the long process of practice, aerobics has gradually developed from a simple fitness sport into an independent sports competition in the form of sports, action technology characteristics and competition organization methods have their own characteristics.

Second, the classification of aerobics

According to the mission of the day and foreign practice aerobics is divided into two categories of fitness aerobics and competitive aerobics

(a) fitness aerobics

Fitness aerobics exercise is the main purpose of "Exercise to maintain health". Fitness aerobics movements simple and practical, music speed is also slower, and in order to ensure that a certain amount of sports load and exercise in a comprehensive manner, the action more repetitive, and are symmetrical form. Fitness aerobics practice time can be long or short, in the practice of the requirements can be changed according to the individual situation, strictly follow the principle of 'health, safety', to prevent the emergence of sports injuries, in order to ensure the safety of the basis, to achieve the purpose of physical exercise.

Fitness aerobics according to the form of exercise is divided into unarmed aerobics, light equipment aerobics and special field aerobics three categories.

Unarmed aerobics includes traditional general aerobics and a variety of different styles of aerobics to meet the interests and needs of different people. Traditionally, general aerobics is still very popular, and its main purpose is to improve cardiorespiratory function and the body's aerobic metabolism. But with the development of society and the improvement of the level of life wither, people's fitness needs are becoming more and more diversified, so in recent years there are a variety of new forms of unarmed aerobics exercises, as popular at home and abroad boxing aerobics and combat gymnastics, the main purpose of its practice is to enhance muscle strength, elasticity and flexibility of the body, especially combat gymnastics exercises on the waist and abdomen has a special effect; Latin aerobics and street dance. The form of its unification exercises are mostly group exercises, rich changes in movement, regularity is not strong, not only to improve the students` coordination ability, but also to regulate the students` psychology, so by the young people`s favorite; Yoga fitness art has a unique theory of body shaping, pay attention to the natural, balance and coordination, is a kind of focus on the body`s health and strength. By focusing on the will, adjust the breathing and make a variety of body postures to improve all parts of the human body, the main purpose of the exercise is to regulate the balance of the body and the ability to control, to achieve the purpose of the "United Whole" is one of the most safe and effective body shaping exercises.

Apparatus aerobics is the use of light equipment, strength exercises based on a kind of aerobic aerobics. Instrumental aerobics using a variety of movable light equipment for practice, not only to enhance the effect of fitness, but also to make the form of aerobics practice more diversified. At present, the use of light equipment collective strength exercise is the world's most popular and fastest growing fitness program, the main purpose of strength corrective exercise is to make the united exercises to maintain muscle shape, enhance muscle strength and prevent muscle degeneration, thereby slowing down the aging process, so that people are more robust, such as the pedal aerobics increased the movement load of the legs, increase the amount of exercise, but reduce the impact on the joints of the lower limbs, but also to make the action more Diversification; and dumbbell exercise, rubber band exercise, fitness ball exercise, etc. can exercise to the whole body of each muscle group, effectively improve the muscle power most, especially the upper limb power, to make up for the lack of migratory hand aerobics.

Special site aerobics with its special effects in foreign countries is developing very quickly, but in the country is still carrying out less, at present we know the water aerobics and fixed apparatus aerobics. Water aerobics is currently very popular in foreign countries a unique form of aerobics exercises, it can reduce the impact of the ground on the knee and ankle joints in the movement, effectively reduce the load on the joints and the use of water resistance and the principle of water conduction of heat fast to improve the effect of practice, to achieve the purpose of physical exercise and weight loss, so by the middle-aged and elderly people, rehabilitation patients and dieter's favorite. Fixed apparatus aerobics, such as power bicycles, etc., is fixed in a place (ground or water anywhere), students can practice according to their own needs, to achieve the door of physical exercise.

(B) competitive aerobics

Competitive aerobics is based on the development of fitness aerobics. Currently the world more recognized definition of competitive aerobics is "competitive aerobics is in the musical accompaniment, the ability to complete a continuous complex and high-intensity movements, the project originated in the traditional aerobic dance." Competitive aerobics is characterized by sets of movements that must demonstrate a combination of continuous movement, flexibility, strength, and a combination of seven basic steps combined with the perfect execution of difficult movements. The main purpose of competitive aerobics is "competition", and its programs include men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles, trios and sixes. Competitive aerobics must be carried out in strict accordance with the rules in terms of the number of participants, the competition venue and the timing of the routines. The rules also have strict regulations on the choreography of the sets, the completion of the movements, and the number of difficult movements.

Since the main purpose of the competition is to win, the design of the movement is more diversified, and strictly avoid repetitive movements and symmetrical movements. In recent years, athletes have added a large number of difficult maneuvers to their sets, such as: various big jumps into push-ups, airborne turns into push-ups, etc., which puts higher demands on athletes' physical fitness, technical skills, and expressiveness.

In addition to fitness aerobics and competitive aerobics, in our country there is also a performance aerobics, performance aerobics, the main purpose of the exercise is to "show" it is pre-arranged, designed specifically for the performance of sets of aerobics time is generally 2-5 open clock. Performance aerobics movements than fitness pieces of aerobics movements are complex, music speed can be fast or slow, in order to ensure a certain performance effect, less repetitive movements, and not necessarily symmetrical. The number of participants is not limited, and can be added to the sets of changes in formation and collective cooperation movements. Performers can use light instruments, such as: garlands, flags, etc., but also some stylized dance movements, such as: jazz, etc., in order to achieve the atmosphere, infect the audience, increase the performance effect.

Because performance aerobics movements are more complex and varied than fitness aerobics movements, the physical quality of the participants requires a higher level of not only good coordination, but also a certain sense of performance and collective cooperation.
