Aerobic - A process of producing energy that requires oxygen. Aerobic Capacity - The total or maximal amount of aerobic work that can be done by an individual. Aerobic Metabolism - Most of the energy needed to support exercise that goes beyond 3 minutes is provided by aerobic or oxidative energy metabolism. In other words oxygen is required to produce energy. Agility - The ability of an individual to change physical position with speed and accuracy. Anaerobic Capacity - The total or maximal amount of anaerobic work that can be done by an individual. Anaerobic Metabolism - A type of energy metabolism that does not require oxygen. Anaerobic Threshold - Transition point when aerobic metabolism can no longer meet the energetic demands and energy from sources independent of oxygen are required. This is also the work rate at which blood lactate concentrations start to increase during graded exercise. Anaerobic - A process of producing energy that does not require the presence of oxygen. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - Energy released from food is stored in the muscle in the form of ATP. When ATP is broken down energy is released. Anaerobic Glycolysis - A process of breaking down glycogen stores without oxygen. Lactate (lactic acid) is the byproduct of this process.
