Exercise that breaks down glucose in the body without using oxygen.
What is the biochemical process involved in anaerobic exercise?
Glycolysis
What is the main difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise?
The duration and intensity of the exercise.
What does anaerobic exercise lead to?
A buildup of lactic acid in the body.
Which type of muscles operate using anaerobic metabolic systems?
Fast twitch muscles
How can the anaerobic component of an exercise be determined?
By measuring the lactic acid formation in muscle mass.
What are high energy phosphates stored in limited quantities within muscle cells?
ATP
What is the fuel exclusively used by anaerobic glycolysis in the absence of oxygen?
Glucose and glycogen
What are examples of anaerobic exercises?
Sprints, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and strength training
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.
