THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANAEROBIC AND AEROBIC ENERGY SYSTEM

ENERGY SYSTEM

AEROBIC

With oxygen

Involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration

Glycolisis

Krebs cycle

Electron transport chain

ANEROBIC

Without oxygen

Typically exercise that is performed at a higher intensity

Only glycolisis runningGlycolisis/lactic acid : 20-240 seconds

Will soon be forced to stop due to lactic acid buildup unustainable
