What is the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise?

There are many kinds of exercise. Many times we only care about the effects of exercise and ignore the classification of exercise. However, exercise is also divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. Do you have a certain understanding of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise? When you see a sport, can you distinguish between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise? Next, the editor will introduce to you the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise: It can be simply explained as a type of exercise that allows smooth breathing, with low intensity and long duration, through continuous or repeated activities, and completing a certain amount of exercise within a certain period of time. During the entire exercise process, we can complete the breathing process smoothly, with the only difference being slow or fast breathing. For example: long-distance running, swimming, skipping rope, aerobics, cycling, mountain climbing, etc., and the corresponding fitness equipment are: Hanchen treadmills, exercise bikes, elliptical machines, mountain climbing machines and rowing machines, etc.

Anaerobic exercise: It can be explained as high-intensity, high-frequency, continuous exercise. It is an exercise that cannot be completed according to a certain rhythm with normal breathing, such as professional strength training, 100-meter sprint, weightlifting, etc. Gyms are generally equipped with professional strength fitness equipment: Hanchen weightlifting bed, big bird and other professional strength training equipment.

The main function of aerobic exercise is fitness, while the main function of anaerobic exercise is plasticity. A general fitness plan combines aerobic exercise with anaerobic exercise to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body.

This mainly depends on the intensity of the exercise. When the exercise intensity is relatively low, the oxygen supply is sufficient, and the body obtains energy through aerobic oxidation of energy substances, which is aerobic exercise; when the exercise intensity is high, the oxygen supply is relatively insufficient, and the body can use the glycogen glycolysis to produce lactic acid to obtain energy, which is anaerobic exercise. It can be seen from this that, in general, the division between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise is mainly determined by whether lactic acid is produced during exercise.

After reading the above about the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, have you learned a lot about the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise? In fact, everyone should persist in exercising when exercising. There is no need to keep worrying about the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. As long as you persist in exercising, success will still belong to you.
