Paper 1
The length of time an activity lasts.
Revise: Aerobic and anaerobic exerciseWhich makes the greater contribution depends particularly on intensity, meaning how hard the performer is working, and duration, meaning how long the activity lasts.
Link your answer to the specific activity: identify its duration and/or intensity, then explain why this makes it aerobic or anaerobic.
When applying an example, link the activity to both its intensity and its duration, rather than just naming a sport.
Avoid treating a particular duration as an exact switch between aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
