Improving Aerobic Fitness: Course Description
The 'Improving Aerobic Fitness' OpenCourseWare shows students the methods of proper aerobic fitness exercise.

The free course features a method that is comprised of four workout components, such as frequency, intensity, time and type. The course provides students with an in-depth explanation of each component and its importance during an aerobic fitness workout. Students can learn how to use two different formulas, such as the percentage heart rate method and the heart rate reserve method.
