Bunny, there is no such activity that is 100% aerobic or anaerobic. You call something anaerobic when it is mostly done without Oxygen. BTW, Oxygen doesn not=air, different things.

"Anaerobic respiration refers to the oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy."

I.. agree.. with you. Ok, I believe there is something you can call anaerobic activity. The moment you sit down and do your first rep, until you end the exercise. But I still think that the whole process of a workout is pretty much aerobic.

I think there is only one person on the planet right now that doesn't know who's right. Can you guess who that is?

, I would not let you be the last person in 2005 to convince me of something.

That is true, it depends how a person do the workout. If he does one anaerobic exercise and stays the rest of the process chasing women around the gym, that is aerobic. Some people just disgust me.

Yeah, I know, air is not equal to oxygen, most of it is nitrogen anyway or we would explode. But air needs to have oxygen to be called air.

Hey, the year is not over yet and I agreed partially with you. There is something called anaerobic but there is no anaerobic workout.

Even if you ran in your "aerobic zone" you would still be producing some energy anaerobically and vice versa. Think of it as a continuum, not something that switches on and off.

nothing is absolute.

Yeah I agree, I am happy with this definition.

This reminds me of a south park episode that I just saw, when they try to eat by their anus and crap by their mouth. Leaving us with a pretty conclusive theory why some people talk a lot of nonsense.

Veiope, resistance training is a series of anaerobic bursts. You can go for an hour, but that is only because you take frequent breaks. You would be unable to continously perform those exercises for 1 hour straight unless you have a VO2 max and lactate threshold of mutant proportions.

This is the same concept as interval training. You could not continuously perform the high intensity peaks of the session for the duration of the session; you have to intersperse this with recovery periods.

Furthermore, no activity is every purely powered by one energy pathway. It is always a conglomoration of the energy pathways. Nonetheless, some activities obviously depend on certain energy pathways to a much greater extent. A guy running a marathon requires a much greater percentage of his energy be provided aerobically, while someone sprinting 100m requires a much greater percentage of his energy be provided anaerobically.
