Aerobic Respiration: Glucose + oxygen » carbon dioxide + water small amount

Anaerobic Respiration : Glucose + lactic acid Large amount of energy release

With anaerobic exercise oxygen is carried through your breath to the muscles, giving them the energy needed to sustain the effort however oxygen is not present with anaerobic exercise. This has very high intensity. E.g. sprinting and weight lifting. C₆H₁₂O₆ » 2C₃H₆O₃

Aerobic excercise burns fat, improves mood, strengthens the heart and lungs and reduces your risk of diabetes. In aerobic exercise calories are burned more efficiently in bodies that have more muscle and so is helpful for weight loss. This included running at a comfortable running pace - you should be able to talk without breathing too hard, swimming and biking. C₆H₁₂O₆ +6O₂ » 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
