compare and contrast aerobic physical activity with anaerobic physical activity.

Aerobic physical activity is activity that requires the body to use oxygen in order to create energy. Examples of aerobic physical activity include walking, jogging, swimming, running, cycling, and dancing. These activities increase your heart rate and breathing rate and can be done for longer periods of time. Benefits of aerobic physical activity include improved cardiovascular health, increased endurance, better sleep, and a stronger immune system. Anaerobic physical activity is activity that does not require the body to use oxygen in order to create energy. Examples of anaerobic physical activity include sprinting, plyometrics, interval training, strength training, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). These activities involve short bursts of energy and do not require sustained movement. Benefits of anaerobic physical activity include increased strength and muscle tone, improved balance, better coordination, and improved metabolism.

Aerobic physical activity is any type of exercise or physical activity that is rhythmic and sustained, which increases the heart rate and respiration while using oxygen to fuel muscles. Examples of aerobic activity include jogging, swimming, dancing and brisk walking. Anaerobic physical activity is a type of exercise or physical activity that is of intense and/or short duration. This type of activity does not require oxygen to fuel muscles, and instead relies on the body’s stored energy reserves. Examples of anaerobic activities include weight training, sprinting, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The main difference between aerobic and anaerobic physical activity is that aerobic activity requires the use of oxygen to produce energy, and anaerobic activity does not. Aerobic activities are usually longer in duration, provide cardiovascular benefits, and help to burn fat, increase endurance and improve overall health and well being. Anaerobic activities are usually of short duration, and are used to build strength, power and speed. Both types of exercise are important for overall health and fitness, but should be balanced to create an effective exercise program.
