Question

select the correct answer
which of the following is an example of anaerobic exercise?
a. swimming
b. weight lifting
c. dancing
d. playing tennis

Explanation:

Anaerobic exercise is high - intensity, short - duration activity where the body's demand for oxygen exceeds the supply. Weight lifting is a short - burst, high - intensity activity that relies on anaerobic metabolism (using stored energy sources like ATP - PC and glycolysis without significant oxygen intake for a short time). Swimming, dancing, and playing tennis (especially when done continuously for a while) are more aerobic as they involve longer - duration, lower - intensity (relative to anaerobic) activities that can use oxygen for energy production for a sustained period.

Answer:

B. weight lifting
