Unlike the aerobic metabolism which consumes oxygen, the anaerobic system consumes glucose. Think of activities where your heart rate is elevated causing you to breathe heavier. Mountain biking and cross-country running are just 2 of many aerobic activities. As a rule of thumb, any activity that is repeated over a long period of time is aerobic.
So, what's left over?
Anaerobic activities are generally speedy, powerful activities. A good example would be sprinting in track & field. Why is sprinting anaerobic? Well, let's consider the definition of power. Power is the amount of force generated by a muscle in a single contraction or short series of contractions. Sprinting cannot qualify as endurance because it does not involve "repeated contractions over a longer period of time."
And so, because anaerobic activities are not sustained, the aerobic system is not called upon for sustained exertion. So, short bursts of speed and and strength use the anaerobic metabolism, burning glucose.
