Anaerobic exercise is significant use of muscles in a way that quickly burns oxygen. In fact, anaerobic means "absence of oxygen." This can be contrasted with aerobic exercise that consumes oxygen at a sustainable pace such that an activity can be continued for a long duration of time. Anaerobic exercise is a diverse category of exercise that is typically intended to develop strength, speed and agility. The following are illustrative examples.
American Football | Arm Wrestling | Ballistic Training (throwing exercises) | Bodybuilding | Calisthenics | Cycling Sprint | Gymnastics (e.g. pommel horse, rings, parallel bars, vaulting ) | Handstand | High Jump | Interval Training (repeated short duration exercise) | Long Jump | Plyometrics (jump training) | Pole Vault | Pull-ups | Pushups | Rowing Sprints | Rugby | Sit-ups | Sprinting | Squats | Swimming Sprint | Throwing Sports (e.g. Javelin Throw) | Tug of War | Weight Lifting | Wrestling |
Team sports such as football that involve short sequences of intense speed and strength are mostly anaerobic.Athletes in an anaerobic sport typically require significant aerobic exercise as this is a pathway to an improved performance of the heart and lungs.
