What are aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise?
Common aerobic exercises include: yoga, walking, jogging, skating, swimming, cycling, playing Tai Ji Chuan, dancing, doing rhythmic exercises and so on.

Common anaerobic sports are: sprint, weightlifting, throwing, high jump, long jump, tug-of-war, push-ups, diving, muscle strength training (long-term muscle contraction) and so on.

Human movement needs energy. If energy comes from aerobic metabolism (oxidation reaction) in cells, it is aerobic exercise. But if energy comes from anaerobic glycolysis, it is anaerobic exercise.

Extended data:

The purpose of aerobic exercise is to enhance cardiopulmonary endurance. In the process of exercise, due to muscle contraction, a lot of energy and oxygen are needed, and the demand for oxygen increases. The number of heart contractions, the amount of blood pumped out each time, the number of breaths and the degree of lung expansion all increase.

Therefore, when the exercise continues and the muscles contract for a long time, the heart and lungs must strive to provide oxygen to the muscles and take away the waste in the muscles. And this constant demand can improve the endurance of the heart and lungs. With the increase of cardiopulmonary endurance, the body can engage in longer or higher-intensity exercise, and it is less likely to get tired.

It is found that anaerobic exercise can improve the muscle strength, explosive force, muscle volume and exercise speed of the body.
