A form of exercise involving highly intense activities that triggers anaerobic metabolism, especially when the aerobic pathways become insufficient in supplying energy at the required rate.


Supplement

Athletes in non-endurance sports (e.g. 200-metre sprint) work out under anaerobic conditions to build power and muscle mass. Muscles trained under anaerobic conditions result in greater performance in short duration, highly intense activities.
