Anaerobic - Short-duration of activity.
Aerobic - Smaller EPOC.
Anaerobic - Greater EPOC.
Aerobic - Sub maximal, work moderate intensity.
Anaerobic - Maximal work,,high intensity.
Aerobic - Carbon dioxide and water are end products.
Anaerobic - Lactic acid is the by-product.
Aerobic - Uses oxygen in chemical breakdown.
Anaerobic - Doesn't need Oxygen in chemical breakdown.
