ENERGY SYSTEM TRAINING

The difference between cardio training and aerobic training

        This is important to understand. Cardio refers to any exercise in which the heart and lungs are involved. This could be jogging, running, sprinting, swimming, circuit training etc. If you are elevating your heart rate and respiration rate, you are doing some form of cardiovascular work.

Aerobic training refers to a state in which the cardiovascular work is performed. Aerobic literally means "oxygen". It is a relatively low intensity state of exercise that can be maintained almost indefinitely
(as long as oxygen is being supplied to the working muscles, in the required amounts- the exercise can be continued).
This is aerobic training. All aerobic training is cardiovascular training. Not all cardiovascular training is aerobic..Hope that makes sense.
