The condition of oxygen being absent.
Characterised by the absence of free oxygen; able to live in such conditions.
Non-oxygen training, i.e. short, explosive bursts of energy (like 4 reps of heavy benching). The duration of the burst is too short to allow the cells to utilize oxygen and energy in the blood, but is kind of running "on internal batteries" for a short amount of time. This phase is greatly helped by the sport supplement Creatine Monohydrate, which, if compared to a muscular battery, boosts the capacity and thereby allows for harder and more intense weight training.
not aerobic; "isometric exercises are anaerobic"
Short-term, high-intensity exercise that uses carbohydrates for energy, but not oxygen.
involves activity in which the muscles cannot draw out enough oxygen from the blood stream; used in endurance training
Where molecular oxygen is absent from the environment.
High intensity, shorter duration exercise that primarily uses glucose rather than oxygen. Lifting a heavy barbell is anaerobic.
a deficiency of dissolved oxygen in the water, anoxic is an oxygen concentration level below the level that sustains aerobic activity.
Muscle activity not completely dependent on the oxygen readily available from the circulating blood. Exercises such as sprinting, rowing, cycling, competitive swimming, weight lifting and body building use more oxygen than is available from the cirulating blood.
Any action that does not require the use oxygen. Usually associated with the degradation of materials or substances in the environment by micro-organisms that do not require air.
a process that requires no oxygen
Pertaining to or lack of oxygen.

Compare? A biological process which occurs in the absence of oxygen.
Referring to a cell, organism, or metabolic process that functions in the absence of O2.
(an air OH bic): Organism that lives and grows in the absence of oxygen. Propionibacterium acnes is an anaerobic bacterium.
Pertaining to microbes that live in the absence of oxygen. Also refers to conditions favorable to these organisms. Similar in meaning to anoxic, but anaerobic properly refers to microbes and their ecology whereas anoxic is simply a description of chemical conditions. Aerobic is the antonym of anerobic and refers to organisms that require oxygen.
not having molecular oxygen (02) present.
Used to refer to running or other exercise at an intensity that makes it impossible for your respiratory and cardiovascular systems to deliver all or most of the oxygen required by your muscles, and fast enough that lactic acid begins to build up in your muscles, thus producing a tired, heavy feeling. The pace associated with anaerobic running cannot be sustained very long.

capable of existing or occurring in the absence of air or oxygen.
Existing or active in the absence of free oxygen.
Characterized by the absence ofmolecular oxygen, or growing in the absence ofmolecular oxygen (as in “anaerobic bacteriaâ€).

Refers to organisms that are not dependent on oxygen for respiration.
An absence of unreacted or free oxygen.
Growing in the absence of oxygen.
Exercising at a level where normal breathing cannot supply all of the oxygen necessary for proper muscle operation. You can only maintain this high level of output for a short duration.
