Anaerobic, connotatively translated, means "without oxygen". When used in discussions about Biology, the adjective has been applied most commonly to specific types of bacteria that do not need oxygen to carry out basic biological processes. Bacteria that are able to function without oxygen are called "anaerobes" Yeasts in beer and wine are usually anaerobic in nature and cause fermentation. The title "Anaerobic" can also be applied to environments in which there is little or no oxygen, such as a lake that has a low Dissolved Oxygen content. Anaerobic exercise involves movements that drain muscle tissues of oxygen, creating lactic acid accumulation. This accumulation leads to an oxygen debt that needs to be repaid after exercise. It does not mean that you hold your breath while you run on a treadmill!!
