	Anaerobic Exercise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Anaerobic training should supplement aerobic training for individuals likely to be involved in short bursts of speed or very intense activity for short periods of time.
		The relative emphasis of the exercise and the conditioning depends on the physical demands of the activity or sport involved.
		Currently, in the area of cardiovascular medicine, exercise has a dual role, By increasing the workload of the heart, exercise is often able to demonstrate an imbalance between cardiac supply and demand, thus identifying coronary artery disease not otherwise suspected in one at rest.

	anaerobic exercise
		Anaerobic exercise is any exercise that requires short bursts of power, such as all-out sprinting or very heavy weightlifting.
		Anaerobic means "without oxygen." The ability to perform this type of work is not dependent on oxygen from the air, but relies on energy sources stored in the muscle.
		With a primarily anaerobic exercise such as sprinting, after about 90 seconds, you begin gasping for air and feel a burning sensation in your lungs — your body is forcing you to stop exercising.

	The Elderly Need Anaerobic Exercise
		Anaerobic exercise usually involves a local area, such as the legs in cycling, which does not include the arms, while aerobic exercise is more of a systemic phenomenon.
		According to McArdle et al.,1,2 anaerobic exercise must be performed to the point of near-muscular exhaustion, recovery between bouts of exercise in a training session must be incomplete, and the exercise must be progressive to increase the degree of strength.
		Anaerobic energy is thus used for all emergency-response reactions, such as a pedestrian running and jumping to avoid a vehicle, or the elderly attempting to avoid a fall.

	Anaerobic exercise and fitness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The term ‘anaerobic' means ‘without oxygen.' Anaerobic exercises can not last for long periods of time because they do not use oxygen for energy and lactic acid is produced in the muscle cells as a by-product.
		Anaerobic exercise requires a person to move at an increased pace or to perform the exercise with greater effort compared to an aerobic exercise.
		Anaerobic exercise is not nearly as effective for directly burning fat as aerobic exercise is. However, anaerobic exercise helps burn fat indirectly by increasing the metabolic rate after the exercise session.

	Fitness Reference Guide: Anaerobic Exercise
		Anaerobic means “without air" or "without oxygen." Anaerobic exercise is a short lasting, high intensity activity, where the demand for oxygen from the exercise exceeds the oxygen supply.
		Anaerobic exercise relies on energy sources that are stored in the muscles and, unlike aerobic exercise, is not dependent on oxygen from (breathing) the air.
		Anaerobic exercise uses muscles at high intensity and a high rate of work for a short period of time.

	Exercise - MSN Encarta
		Anaerobic exercise involves heavy work by a limited number of muscles, for example during weight lifting.
		Unlike anaerobic exercise, aerobic exercise uses oxygen to keep large muscle groups moving continuously at an intensity that can be maintained for at least 20 minutes.
		Aerobic exercise includes walking, jogging, and swimming, and is the form recommended for reducing the risk of heart disease and increasing endurance.

	Exercise
		Anaerobic exercise is activity which promotes the growth of muscle tissue, as opposed to burning fat tissue, which is the point of aerobic exercise.
		Anaerobic exercise involves pushing your muscles to the limits in order to encourage them to grow to meet the demands that you put on them.
		Anaerobic exercise does not cause weight loss; in fact, those who exercise anaerobically on a regular basis may find themselves actually gaining some weight due to the increase in muscle mass (even though their bodies are becoming leaner and trimmer, since muscle is denser than fat).

	Aerobic versus Anaerobic
		Anaerobic the word applied to the bacteria able to live and survive in the absence of oxygen or air.
		It has been determined that anaerobic exercise will burn more calories than aerobic exercise, on a ratio of 5 to1 basis, and even as much as a 7 to 1 ratio.
		Anaerobic exercises use resistance so that you will also be building muscle and bone as an added benefit.

	Aerobic Exercise
		When we start exercising, energy is initially produced anaerobically until the respiratory and cardiovascular systems respond and supply the oxygen necessary for aerobic energy production, hence the increase in breathing and heart rates.
		Exercising above this intensity will cause progressive accumulation of lactate in the blood, increased heart and breathing rates, cause muscle fatigue and will eventually lead to the cessation of exercise.
		Anaerobic training causes the build-up of lactate (as rapidly as one minute after exercise is commenced).

		is the capacity to exercise in aerobic activities for a prolonged period where the amount of activity depends on aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory endurance.
		The anaerobic threshold is attained during more intense exercise where anaerobic metabolism represents a significant proportion of the required energy supply.

		Anaerobic exercise relies on energy sources that are stored in the muscle and, unlike aerobic exercise, is not dependent on oxygen from the air.
		Exercise is always a balance between intensity (how hard the exercise is), duration (how long a person exercises), and frequency (how often a person exercises).
		In aerobic exercise, for example, running stresses primarily the lower leg muscles; landing on the heels and rising on the toes exerts the greatest force on the ankle.

	Free running/cardio training article/tip Is “Anaerobic Exercise” a Myth? from B.O.S.S. Fitness
		During low intensity exercise such as walking, a large majority of the required energy comes from the use of fat as a fuel.
		Modern exercise science has failed to realize or consider that the heart, which is also a muscle, demands the same increased oxygen requirements with increasing exercise intensity as the working muscles do.
		It should be clear from this article that anaerobic exercise and anaerobic muscle in their defined form cannot exist during even extremely high intensity exercise.

	Aerobic vs. Anaerobic: What is The Difference? :: Provided by MyFoodDiary.com
		The problem with the terms "aerobic" and "anaerobic" when applied to exercise is that we actually never switch from total aerobic to total anaerobic metabolic conditions.
		Consequently, it is best to view the terms aerobic and anaerobic as transitions in metabolism, where the proportion between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism changes with changes in exercise intensity.
		Aerobic exercise tends to be less stressful to muscles, joints, and your heart, which may be important for individuals with arthritis, heart disease, or high blood pressure.

		Compared with the control, the aerobic and anaerobic trials significantly elevated testosterone, prolactin and cortisol; however, these changes were transient and returned to control levels within 1-2 h of recovery.
		The prolactin AUC for the anaerobic trial was greater than both the control and aerobic trials, but the aerobic and control trials did not differ from one another.
		Anaerobic exercise may produce some degree of temporary alteration within the testosterone-LH component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis however, the mechanism for this phenomenon remains unclear.

	Anaerobic exercise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are two types of anaerobic energy system, the ATP-CP energy system, which uses creatine phosphate as the main energy source, and the lactic-acid (or anaerobic glycolysis) system that uses glucose (or glycogen) in the absence of oxygen.
		The anaerobic threshold (AT) is the exercise intensity at which lactate starts to accumulate in the blood stream.
		Although the anaerobic threshold is defined as the point when lactic acid starts to accumulate, some testers approximate this by using the point at which lactate reaches a concentration of 4 mM/L (at rest it is around 1 mM/L)....
