Anaerobic exercise is exercise such as weight training that improves your strength but does not raise your heart rate. not needing oxygen in order to live aerobic
(i) Absence of molecular oxygen (ii) Growing in the absence of molecular oxygen, such as anaerobic bacteria (iii) Occurring in the absence of molecular oxygen, as a biochemical process
adj : 1: Lacking or seriously depleted of oxygen Opposite of aerobic 2: Of or relating to organisms, such as certain bacteria, that can live in the absence of atmospheric oxygen (indeed, for most anaerobic bacteria, oxygen is toxic)
The term used to describe a biological process which occurs without the need for oxygen Often used to describe types of bacteria and bacteriological processes such as denitrification Anaerobic bacterial activity can be seen in the bottom muds of ponds, lakes etc , where organic matter is broken down without the availability of oxygen The thin crust of the surface muds, prevents the oxygen from penetrating through to lower layers Such anaerobic breakdown in muds can result in the production of hydrogen sulphide, which can be toxic to fish
Life or processes that occur in the absence of molecular oxygen; growing in the absence of molecular oxygen, such as anaerobic bacteria; occurring in the absence of molecular oxygen, such as anaerobic decomposition
Literally, "without oxygen " In anaerobic exercise, energy is produced without oxygen, usually because the exercise intensity is such that the heart and lungs can't get enough oxygen to the muscles Anaerobic exercise creates a byproduct called lactate, which builds up in the muscles and causes soreness and fatigue
Used to refer to running or other exercise at an intensity that makes it impossible for your respiratory and cardiovascular systems to deliver all or most of the oxygen required by your muscles, and fast enough that lactic acid begins to build up in your muscles, thus producing a tired, heavy feeling The pace associated with anaerobic running cannot be sustained very long
