Explain the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise
What will be an ideal response?
Aerobic means with air (i.e., oxygen) and contrasts with anaerobic which indicates without air. Whereas jogging is a form of aerobic exercise because you can continue to oxygenate your body while you jog, sprinting is a form of anaerobic exercise because at some point during your sprint your bodily systems can no longer sustain their oxygen supplies to maintain energy demands. This lack of oxygen will soon stop your sprint to allow you to catch your breath so you can restore your body's oxygen deficit. Cardiorespiratory fitness can be measured directly using a treadmill test and recording peak absolute oxygen consumption.
