The Difference

Nah...someone asked me dulu about the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise..here i`ll show u the difference lah. so hope u remember it nanti.hehe


Aerobic combustion
The working muscles need energy, which is obtained through the combustion of oxygen or fat. In the case of a low physical loads, the body burns glucose with the help of oxygen (aerobic production of energy). This way of obtaining energy is especially appropriated for long walks, thus putting the emphasis on endurance, without any significant production of metabolic byproducts like lactic acid.

Anaerobic combustion
In the case of heavy physical loads (for instance fast trotting, sprinting), there is not enough oxygen in the body. So it metabolizes carbohydrates into energy, without the help of oxygen (anaerobic combustion). For long duration physical loads, like in excursions, this type of energy production is undesired, so it will not be included in our fitness program.
