Yes, aerobic exercise is important for muscle health because it can help strengthen the heart. The heart is made up cardiac muscle and this type of muscle cannot consciously be controlled. Heart muscle involuntarily contracts and relaxes in an effort to keep blood circulating throughout the body.
Anaerobic exercise is fueled by energy created through glycolysis, which is a method by which glycogen is broken down into glucose, also known as 'sugar,' and is converted into energy. Heavy weight training, sprints and jumping are examples of anaerobic exercises that rely on stored energy in your muscles. The benefits of anaerobic exercise include: 1  Building and maintaining lean muscle mass. 2  Protecting your joints. 3  Boosting metabolism. 4  Increasing bone strength and density. 5  Improving your energy.
