What is the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobics?

Answer 1

Aerobic exercise is exercise with oxygen, in other words, exercise that gets you breathing hard by utilizing your cardiovascular system. Running, jogging, swimming, and walking are examples of aerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise is exercise without oxygen, in other words, exercise that does not get you breathing hard. Doing a single squat or bench press are examples of anaerobic exercise. Actually, every exercise is at least slightly aerobic or slightly anaerobic. Also, many anaerobic exercises can be made aerobic simply by doing more of them, for example, doing 50 bench presses or squats without pausing.

Answer 2

Your body has different systems for producing the energy you need. These systems are either anaerobic -- not using oxygen -- or aerobic -- using oxygen. Essentially, here's how it works. When you first start exercises you're using stored energy (ATP) and then you start converting sugar into energy (anaerobic glycolysis). After that your body needs to start producing energy using oxygen, i.e. aerobically.

Answer 3

Anaerobic and aerobic exercises are both exercises that improve the overall health of the body. Their difference is, the anaerobic is a form of exercise without the use of oxygen, it does not require you to breathe hard unlike aerobic exercise oxygen is needed because this exercise requires you to breathe hard.

Answer 4

anaerobic exercise is when you're body does not use oxygen, creating "oxygen debt".

aerobic exercise is when you're body uses oxygen
