Comprehensive Fitness Training Concepts
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise
Aerobic
Aerobic sports activities are not very heavy (heart rate not more than 140 BPM in untrained individuals) and the duration exceeds 3 minutes.
Anaerobic
Anaerobic activities are intense (heart rate over 140 BPM, or for trained individuals) with effort durations between 5 seconds and 1 minute. The alactic system, which utilizes energy deposits in muscles in the form of compounds (adenosine triphosphate), is used at the start of an activity and typically lasts only
