What is anaerobic and aerobic activity?
Anaerobic activities are those exercises that involve high output of energy over short time periods repeatedly. Aerobic activity involves exercise that is less energetic but continuous in nature. For an activity to be purely aerobic, the heart rate must be kept in a particular range for at least 20 minutes. Examples of mostly anaerobic activities (nothing is purely anaerobic or aerobic) include American football, Baseball, weight lifting, and sprinting. Examples of mostly aerobic activities include long distance running, bicycling, soccer, and other constant activities. Karate training is primarily an anaerobic exercise.
