Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerobic exercise refers to exercise that can be sustained over a longer period of time where oxygen is required to produce energy. Examples include jogging, brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or cross-country skiing. Anaerobic exercise, on the other hand, requires intense bursts of energy that can be sustained for short periods and does not require oxygen. Examples include weightlifting or sprinting. Anabolic exercise refers to exercises that help build muscle by stimulating muscle growth, while isometric exercise refers to exercises where there is tension in the muscle, but no visible movement (such as holding a plank).
