    Study Notes

    Anaerobic Exercise: Key Facts and Information

    • Anaerobic exercise involves breaking down glucose in the body without using oxygen.
    • Anaerobic exercise is shorter in duration, but more intense than aerobic exercise.
    • Glycolysis is the biochemical process involved in anaerobic exercise.
    • Anaerobic exercise leads to a buildup of lactic acid.
    • Anaerobic exercise can build endurance, muscle strength, and power.
    • Fast twitch muscles operate using anaerobic metabolic systems.
    • The anaerobic component of an exercise can be determined by measuring the lactic acid formation in muscle mass.
    • Aerobic exercise includes lower intensity activities performed for longer periods of time.
    • High energy phosphates are stored in limited quantities within muscle cells.
    • Anaerobic glycolysis exclusively uses glucose (and glycogen) as a fuel in the absence of oxygen.
    • Anaerobic exercise increases an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).
    • Examples of anaerobic exercises include sprints, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and strength training.
