VERIFIED.
Anaerobic activities - ANS exercise, in contrast, is performed at a high intensity such that
oxygen is not readily
available to produce enough energy to sustain the activity beyond 2 to 3 minutes. ATP
production and turnover is at a fast rate but in short supply.
characteristics of anaerobic activities - ANS Fast, powerful, explosive, shortduration,
high-intensity best describe anaerobic activities.
EX: weightlifting, sprinting
aerobic activities - ANS involves light to moderate intensity activity in which oxygen can be
delivered
and utilized to produce energy. The energy produced and used is Adenosine Triphosphate
(ATP). In the presence of oxygen, more ATP can be produced but at a slow rate.
characteristics of aerobic activities - ANS Slow,
continuous, long-duration, and moderate-intensity characterize aerobic activities.
EX: running, cycling, swimming

, interval training - ANS involves alternating high-intensity work intervals with intensity or
active recovery intervals
cross training - ANS combines multiple types of activities (e.g. triathlon) and distributes the
physical
stress of training to different muscle groups during the activities. This enhances the adaptations
of the cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems.
Because you're changing the movement patterns when exercising, helps prevent injury.
circuit training - ANS combines resistance training with cardiorespiratory training whereby
participants perform a series of exercises or stations, with minimal transition time between
each exercise or station; objective is to maintain an elevated heart rate
long slow distance training - ANS form of continuous training performed at a constant pace of
low to moderate intensity over an extended distance or duration; the moderate training
intensity of LSD is effective in improving endurance and maximum oxygen uptake in individuals
who are undertrained or moderately trained
plyometric training - ANS quickly lengthening (eccentric stage) and subsequently shortening
(concentric stage) muscles ex: box jumps, burpies, medicine ball toss
Fartlek training - ANS spontaneously alternating intensity of exercises
5 health related fitness components - ANS cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength,
muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition
cardiorespiratory endurance - ANS is the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to
distribute oxygen and nutrients to the body (muscles, organs and other body tissues)
and remove wastes from the body.
Muscular Strength - ANS the ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert maximum force
