It is difficult for many people to distinguish whether they are doing anaerobic exercise or aerobic exercise when exercising. Aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise have completely different exercise effects. In order to achieve the ideal effect, it is necessary to choose a suitable exercise mode. Let's first look at the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and the characteristics of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.

Doing aerobic exercise has a strong exercise effect on our cardiopulmonary function; Anaerobic exercise is mainly strength training, which greatly strengthens the physical strength and muscle dimension.

Everyone exercises for different purposes. Some people want to strengthen their physique, while others want to make their muscles stronger. The purpose of the two is very different, and the exercise methods will be different.

Difference 1. Aerobic exercise is a long-term exercise. The longer the duration, the support of aerobic endurance is needed. But strength training is different. What is needed is short-term explosive power, that is, anaerobic breathing is needed to supply energy.

The most common aerobic exercise is running, especially jogging. Besides jogging, swimming and slow cycling are also common aerobic exercises. There are also many aerobic exercise equipment in the gym, such as elliptical machines, stair machines, treadmills and so on. There are also some aerobic gymnastics and various types of dances that are also aerobic exercises.

Of course, no matter what equipment you have, aerobic exercise will become anaerobic exercise as long as it is strong enough.

The second difference is the change of heart rate. When exercising, you can judge your exercise type according to your heart rate. When we are running, we can decide our exercise type according to our heart rate changes. We can roughly estimate a person's highest heart rate, which is generally 220 minus his age. As long as it does not exceed 60% of this maximum, it belongs to aerobic exercise, and vice versa.

Third, the feeling of the body, aerobic exercise will not feel uncomfortable in a certain part, but after anaerobic exercise, it will feel uncomfortable in a certain part of the body, such as leg pain, push-ups and arm pain after running.

The above is the difference between anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise, and their characteristics. It is important to distinguish aerobic exercise from anaerobic exercise, so that you can exercise according to your own needs.
