What is anaerobic capacity?
Anaerobic capacity is referred to as anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. It refers to the point in the anaerobic exercise when the lactic acid starts to build up at a rate greater than it can be removed out of the muscle. It is perhaps one of the best indicators of performance in athletes. Traditionally an athlete with a higher VO2Max was considered fitter; however an athlete with a lower VO2Max but higher anaerobic threshold would be able to go further faster without experiencing muscle failure than an athlete with high VO2Max and a low anaerobic threshold. Your anaerobic threshold can be improved with training. Types of anaerobic sports Football, Basketball, Rugby, Hockey and Soccer are all examples of anaerobic sports. An anaerobic sport is anything activity requiring brief spurts of high intensity activity. What is an anaerobic workout? Examples of anaerobic workout would be weight lifting or interval training.
