Abstract: Effort is a stress factor which modifies the homeostatic parameters to higher values than the standard ones. Effort can be described quantitatively, but also quality wise, depending on the effects caused into the subject’s organism. Effort, tiredness, recovery represent a cycle of physiological phenomena organically associated with physical activity. The repetitiveness of this cycle leads to growth of effort capacity which means a growth of the ability to do a more elevated muscular work for a longer time. As a form of teaching through exercising, aerobics and fitness aim to optimize a subject’s biometric potential, its cognitive, emotional and social-relating components. If other types of exercises mostly focus on the “biological machine, both aerobics and fitness create the premises for a development of subject’s personality aspects and their aesthetic sense. It is through this kind of activities that we obtain progressive changes both upon the cognitive processes (thinking, attention, memory, imagination) and emotional ones. It stimulates the intellectual activity which is responsible for obtaining information on skills, activities, exercises and fitness in general. Emotionally, aerobics and fitness’ influences can be noticed in attitude, interests, motivation and values.
