Human exercise needs adenosine triphosphate to provide energy, and adenosine triphosphate is formed through aerobic and anaerobic metabolism of the body. Anaerobic metabolism can synthesize adenosine triphosphate in a short time without oxygen, and the maintenance time is not long; Aerobic metabolism needs oxygen to synthesize adenosine triphosphate, but it can be carried out for a long time. If the ATP consumed in exercise is mainly aerobic metabolism, it is called aerobic exercise.
Definition of aerobic exercise, aerobic exercise refers to long-term, rhythmic muscle exercise that can improve heart rate, such as long-distance jogging, cycling, swimming, skipping rope and aerobic exercise.
"Anaerobic exercise" refers to the intense instantaneous movement of muscles under hypoxia. Because of its high strength, it is difficult to maintain for a long time without relying on oxygen for energy supply. Relatively speaking, this kind of exercise leads to muscle fatigue and shortness of breath ... and anaerobic exercise training can improve muscle strength and physical fitness, such as sprint, weightlifting, high jump, basketball and so on.
