Aerobic exercise involves activities with lower intensity, which is performed for longer periods. The energy is obtained by utilizing nutrient in the presence of oxygen and hence it is called aerobic exercise. Atvht beginning, the body obtains energy by burning glycogen stored in the liver. After about 20 minutes, when stored glycogen is exhausted the body starts burning fats. The body fat is converted into glucose, which is utilized for energy. Aerobic exercise requires large amount of oxygen to obtain the energy needed for prolonged exercise. Some examples of aerobic exercises are: 1. Fast running 2. Jogging 3. Running 4. Bicycling 5.

It uses the muscles at high intensity and a high rate of work for a short period of time. Body obtains energy by burning glycogen stored in the muscles without oxygen hence it is called anaerobic exercise. Burning glycogen without oxygen liberates lactic acid. The accumulation of lactic acid leads to fatigue. Therefore, this type of exercise cannot be performed for longer period of time. And a recovery period is essential before going for another burst of anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercises helps to increase the muscle strength. Examples of anaerobic exercises are: 1. Pull-ups 2.
