What is aerobic gymnastics?

Answer 1

Aerobic gymnastics (aka Sport Aerobics) looks somewhat similar to a floor exercise, but "is the ability to perform continuously complex and high-intensity movement patterns to music...with a high degree of perfectly executed elements of difficulty." It can be performed solo or with more than one athlete. Some movements that would be used in other gymnastics are banned - like handsprings and acrobatic flips.

Answer 2

It's an anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise promotes cardiovascular fitness by raising your pulse to a targeted level, while anaerobic exercise focuses on specific muscles and their size, endurance, and strength. There's not much cardio involved in gymnastics... even in floor routines, which are only 2 minutes long.
