What is the difference between Aerobic Fitness (or Anaerobic Fitness)?
Anaerobic fitness describes the body's ability not to use oxygen to perform intense physical tasks. Anaerobic pathways can be used to supply enough energy during high-intensity exercise. Anaerobic pathways include glycolysis and creatine phosphate.
Aerobic fitness, however, refers to the continuous practice of low-intensity aerobic exercise. While performing aerobic exercises, oxygen is used as the primary source of fuel for the cells. In other words: The aerobic pathway gives more energy than that of the anaerobic.
For example, if you want to run a marathon, you must first build up your aerobic capacity. You won't be successful if you focus only on your anaerobic ability.
Aerobic fitness is also known as cardiovascular fitness. The two most common methods of measuring cardiovascular fitness are VO2 max testing and step tests.
Tests for VO2 Max
The body's maximum oxygen consumption during exercise is called the VO2 Max. This test measures the amount O2 that the body can use when exercising.
This test can measure your cardiovascular fitness accurately. However, it requires expensive equipment and highly trained professionals to administer the test.
Step Tests
Step tests are simple yet effective methods of measuring cardiovascular fitness. These tests require you to walk or run on a track or treadmill for a set amount of time, depending on your weight and age.
These tests cost little, are quick and simple to do, and can be carried out almost anywhere. You can for instance walk on a treadmill 2 minutes, then stop for 1 minute. Throughout the session your heart rate should not exceed a specified range.
This method is known as the "Bruce Protocol". Bruce was himself a runner and developed the protocol after realizing his heart rate wouldn't increase when he ran for longer distances.
