Anaerobic exercise is different from aerobic exercise. Anaerobic means ‘‘without oxygen,’’ and energy is derived from the breakdown of glucose in the blood and muscle with the formation of lactic acid. Static exercise such as moderate and heavy weightlifting or very high-intensity aerobic exercise such as a 100-yard sprints are examples of anaerobic exercise. Heart patients cannot take part in such exercises because they may precipitate heart failure.
