It is and it isn't. It completely depends on what your aim is i.e loose weight, get aerobic fit or cardio fit! In themselves they are quite different. We all know what cardio is and its usually done for longer periods of time . . . while sport aerobics is high intensity and not for as long. So it practically depends on the individual and his or hers needs. :)
The only difference is linguistic. 'Aerobic' exercise is exercise with oxygen. It's typically taken to refer to brisk walking, jogging, running, sprinting, bicycling, and so on, in other words, to exercises that get you breathing hard. 'Anaerobic' exercise is typically taken to refer to exercises that don't get you breathing hard such as lifting weights. 'Cardio' is short for 'cardiovascular.' Cardio exercise is any exercise that stresses your cardiovascular system, which are the exercises that get you breathing more rapidly. Therefore, they are just two different ways of referring to the same kind of exercise.
