Exercise in which oxygen is used up more quickly than the body is able to replenish it inside the working muscle. Weight training is an example of such an activity. It is highly anabolic in nature but also highly catabolic if done in excess.

involves activity in which the muscles cannot draw out enough oxygen from the blood stream; used in endurance training

Short lasting, high intensity activity, where the demand for oxygen from the exercise exceeds the oxygen supply.

Short-term, high-intensity exercise (i.e., sprinting, weight lifting) that uses carbohydrates for energy.

Anaerobic exercise involves brief bursts of exertion followed by periods of rest, where the body uses the energy from glucose and fuel stores in the muscles. Anaerobic exercises build muscles, complementing aerobic exercise. Examples of anaerobic exercise include sprints, crunches and lifting weights.

exercise that builds muscles through tension

Activity that requires no oxygen; usually short spurt, high-energy activities.

Exercise at an intensity that exceeds the ability to supply oxygen to the muscle cells leading to the buildup of lactic acid. Anaerobic exercise stimulates the synthesis of both growth hormone and testosterone.

Any activity that utilizes oxygen at a faster rate than your body can replenish it in the working muscles. By nature, this type of exercise is intense and short in duration. Glycogen is the primary source of fuel.

Physical activity that do not require oxygen and nutrients from the circulation. Such high intensity exercises can be sustained for only a short duration in contrast to the body's prolonged ability to sustain aerobic activities.

requires your body to perform at a great effort for a relatively short duration. This type of exerciser requires your body to use stored energy that does not need oxygen to be released. Examples include weight training or sprinting.

Exercise utilizing carbohydrates as the main energy source. Short term habitually requiring maximal efforts of strength or power.

Exercise that isn't fueled by oxygen intake (as aerobic exercise is). Anaerobic exercise is defined by short, vigorous, and frequent muscle contractions, and includes activities like sprinting and weight lifting.

Anaerobic exercise involves building muscle strength in different parts of your body. This type of exercise goes along well with aerobic exercise because having stronger muscles helps you to burn more calories. This will also help you look toned and feel strong.

A relatively brief, intense activity in which muscle fibers derive energy to contract from stored internal compounds without the use of oxygen from the blood. Resistance training is generally considered an anaerobic exercise.

Exercise in which the body’s demand for oxygen is greater than the supply.

The term "anaerobic" means "without oxygen" or "without air." Anaerobic exercise uses muscles at high intensity and a high rate of work for a short period of time. Because these exercises are so intense they lead to oxygen debt and can only be performed for short periods of time. Anaerobic exercises help you increase muscle strength and stay ready for quick bursts of speed. Think of short and fast when you think of anaerobic exercise. Examples of anaerobic exercise include sprinting, heavy weight lifting or any rapid burst of hard exercise.

Exercise occurring in the absence of molecular oxygen in the muscle.

Short-term, highly intense activities in which muscle fibers derive energy for contraction from stored internal energy sources without the use of oxygen from the blood; stored energy sources include ATP, CP, and glycogen; Examples, short burst, intense efforts, such as in sprinting or weightlifting.

An intense or fast activity where you become breathless. Your body can't process oxygen fast enough for use. Literally, "without oxygen."

Activities in which oxygen demands of muscles are so high that they rely upon an internal metabolic process for oxygen, resulting in lactic acid build up. Short bursts of "all-out" activities such as sprinting or weightlifting are anaerobic (the lungs cannot physically intake the oxygen required to sustain the level of performance).

Exercise that rapidly uses up oxygen and continues in its absence. Anaerobic exercise is generally short and intense, and results in the development of lean muscle mass and increased strength.

high-intensity exercise that does not supply oxygen to the muscles or lasts for less than ninety seconds. Examples: weight training, sprinting, calisthenics.

The word “anaerobic” means literally “without oxygen”. Anaerobic exercise is short-term, high intensity exercise such as sprinting and weight-lifting. It uses mainly carbohydrates for energy as opposed to fat.

Brief, intense exercise that leads to an oxygen debt in a certain area of tissue. Weight lifting is an example.

Anaerobic exercise comprises brief, strength-based activities, such as sprinting or weight training, whereas aerobic exercise is centered around endurance activities, such as marathon running or long-distance cycling. However, the early stage of all exercise is anaerobic.
