
Aerobic Activity
◦ Working with oxygen
◦ If exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart
can supply all the oxygen muscles need

Anaerobic Activity
◦ Working without oxygen
◦ If exercise is done in short, fast bursts, the heart
cannot supply the muscles with the blood and
oxygen they need to release energy for exercise.
◦ Muscles work without oxygen and repay the oxygen
debt once the exercise has been completed.
Glucose (from Carbohydrates) is broken down in
our tissues in the presence of Oxygen to release
energy.

If the level of exercise is too intense, oxygen
cannot be supplied quickly enough to release
energy aerobically.

During recovery from anaerobic exercise the performer
will still be breathing heavily even if they are not
working hard.
This is so that they can pay back the oxygen debt that
they have developed.

‘The amount of oxygen consumed during
recovery, above that which would normally
have been used at rest. It results from a
shortfall in availability of oxygen during
exercise.’
