Understanding this concept helps you set your goals.
Aerobics, anaerobics, motor fitness, cardiac arrhythmia, biomechanics and many other concepts in the field of Physical Education cause headaches, especially for those who want to have a new style of doubt. So it’s worth understanding to avoid someone training “wrong”. So there’s this question: what is anaerobic?

“Anaerobic is not an exercise. It is the predominant or non-predominant metabolism in a given exercise. Those activities in which there is an imbalance of oxygen, i.e. where the oxygen consumption is less than the demand necessary for the activity we call this anaerobic metabolism In a 50 m swimming race, the swimmer often crosses the pool holding his breath (without breathing) to complete the test, this means that there was not a balanced consumption of oxygen and the predominant metabolism was anaerobic without the presence of oxygen or with little presence of oxygen”, the technical manager of Bio Ritmo Guilherme de Almeida and Leme replied exclusively to Sport Life.
This position makes it clear that there is no best best anaerobic. So this exercise can work on both types of metabolism. Your training session determines which metabolism to prioritize. You can also combine a sequence of aerobic or anaerobic weight-bearing exercises into a single training session. Just set your prescription.
“It depends on the goal you are looking for. If the goal is to enhance the adaptations in anaerobic metabolism, the ideal is that the training is done at intensities close to the maximum. It will be more difficult to reach that level of intensity when tired, but if the training goal is to set a more intense pace at the end of the race, as occurs in marathons or endurance cycling, high-intensity stimuli after a training session can complement those intense sessions designed before the end of the race. training to induce adaptations in anaerobic metabolism”, detail in contact with the report the coordinator of the Physical Education course at the UFTM (Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro) Dr. Francesco Coelho.
Curiosity
Another detail exposed by Almeida and Leme is that it is not possible to say whether aerobic is better than anaerobic and vice versa. The reason is that these proposals are different and, consequently, promote different adaptations.
“Aerobic metabolism activities aim to improve cardiorespiratory resistance. While the exercises carried out in anaerobic metabolism aim to improve muscle strength and power. For example: to be complementary”, specified the professional.
The anaerobic performed for two to three minutes maximum. After all, it is impossible for someone to stay in oxygen imbalance for a long time. “After that a long recovery interval of up to 15 minutes is needed to restore the balance in oxygen consumption and to be able to repeat the stimulus,” added the professor.
How does anaerobic work in bodybuilding?
“Bodybuilding can be done both in anaerobism when high loads and low repetitions are emphasized. As well as it can be done in an aerobic metabolism with circuit exercises with more repetitions, reduced or moderate load,” concluded Guilherme de Almeida and Leme.
“Thus, depending on the person’s goals and the setup of the weight training session, weight training itself will provide a boost to anaerobic metabolism, and performing an isolated exercise with anaerobic metabolism dominance may not even be necessary,” concluded Dr. Francis.
Data
The study of the online platform “Cupom Válido” with data from Numbeo, IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and Statista showed that the Brazilian population is second in the ranking of those who frequent the gym most with 21%. India tops this ranking with 24%.
The IBGE has published the PNAD (National Household Sample Survey), whose survey indicated that 62.1% (100.5 million people) of Brazilians over the age of 15 do not engage in any physical activity.
