Your body’s most efficient method of transforming fuel into energy requires oxygen, but sometimes your demand for energy exceeds the rate at which enough oxygen is immediately available. Luckily, your body has a backup process ready and waiting. While not nearly as efficient, the anaerobic energy process can jump into action and keep you going. The downside is that it becomes depleted quickly.
Anaerobic training:
- Develops anaerobic energy production
- Includes improved sprinting abilities
- Provides fatigue resistance
- Offers maximal performance capacity
Both aerobic and anaerobic training effects are mapped on a 0 to 5 scale that accounts for your fitness level and training habits.
0 – None, 1 – Minor, 2 – Maintaining, 3 – Improving, 4 – Highly Improving, 5 – Overreaching.
