True, but if they managed to work this out, I don't think you want to be flying through the air using an anaerobic exercise to keep you aloft. What happens when you are exhausted after 15 squats? Making it aerobic allows for longer flight

I never considered that. So essentially once you go fully aerobic which / how many muscles you use isn't that relevant anymore.
