#aerobic exercise
- Aerobic — Living, developing, manifesting, or functioning only in the presence of free atmospheric oxygen. In biology, it refers to organisms (aerobionts) that use oxygen for cellular respiration; in physiology and sports, it describes a type of moderate and prolonged physical effort where energy is produced through oxygen metabolism.
- Anaerobic — Said of organisms (bacteria, fungi) that can live, develop, or carry out their structural vital processes in the absence of free molecular oxygen; it also describes biochemical processes (fermentation, cellular respiration) taking place without the participation of oxygen. In sports physiology, it qualifies intense, short-duration physical efforts where energy is produced by breaking down carbohydrates without additional oxygen supply.
