Bradyaerobic is a term used in biology that describes an animal that has low levels of oxygen consumption.[1]

By necessity a bradyaerobic animal can engage in short low or high low-level aerobic activities, followed by brief anaerobically powered bursts of energy. Bradyaerobes can be sprinters, but not long distance animals.[2]
