Compare and contrast aerobic and anaerobic exercises. Provide examples of each.
What will be an ideal response?
Aerobic exercises increase CR endurance. Example includes walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, cross-country skiing, water aerobics, rope skipping, and aerobics. By contrast, anaerobic activities do not contribute much to developing the CR system. The intensity of an anaerobic exercise is so high that oxygen cannot be delivered and utilized to produce energy. Because energy production is limited in the absence of oxygen, anaerobic activities can be carried out for only short periods-2 to 3 minutes. Examples of anaerobic activities include races of 100, 200, and 400 meters in track and field, a 100-meter race in swimming, gymnastics routines, and strength training.
