Energy balance also has to do with whatâs going on in your cells. When youâre in a positive energy balance (more in than out) and when youâre in a negative energy balance (more out than in), everything from your metabolism, to your hormonal balance, to your mood is impacted.
Muscle injuries are very common in both professional and recreational athletes. They typically occur in muscles that cross two joints, during explosive activities such as sprinting, and when the athlete is suddenly increasing their exercise regimen (i.e., training camp).
During anaerobic exercise your body builds up lactic acid, which causes discomfort and fatigue at sustained levels. For this reason anaerobic exercise or high intensity exercise happens in short bursts. It may be helpful to consider the difference between a sprinter (anaerobic) and a marathoner (aerobic).Sprinting is an all-out effort that is sustained for a comparatively short period while marathoning is a sustained effort.n the simplest terms the difference comes down to the oxygen. With aerobic exercise oxygen is carried through your breath to the muscles giving them the energy needed to sustain the effort. Oxygen is not present with anaerobic exercise.
