Detailed explanation-1: -Consistent anaerobic exercise increases your body’s ability to store glycogen (what your body uses as energy), giving you more energy for your next bout of intense physical activity. This can improve your athletic ability.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration has the advantage of being faster than aerobic respiration and not requiring oxygen for energy conversion. In muscles, for example, when oxygen supply is insufficient, pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid in order to provide energy during severe activity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic metabolism induces greater total energy expenditure during exercise with blood flow restriction | PLOS ONE.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration happens in muscles during hard exercise. Glucose is not completely broken down, so less energy is released than during aerobic respiration. There is a build-up of lactic acid in the muscles during vigorous exercise. The lactic acid needs to be oxidised to carbon dioxide and water later.
Detailed explanation-5: -Strengthens bones. Burns fat. Builds muscle. Maintains muscle mass, which is important for people as they age.
