During the month of May, physical education students took part in a series of anaerobic training sessions. "Anaerobic exercise" places a focus on short term, quick, intense bouts of movement. When engaging in anaerobic exercise, the body uses ATP as its main source of energy. This is the opposite of "aerobic exercise" in which the body uses oxygen as its primary energy source, throughout a prolonged, continuous bout of movement.
In this video, SDA 5th graders are performing an anaerobic sprint workout. As the students sprint across the length of the gym, they are also carrying weighted medicine balls and clearing a hurdle at half court. Areas of speed, power, strength, and coordination were all improved. All the students agreed that this was a great workout that really challenged them. Take a look!
