aerobically

Using sustained breath

In a manner involving or requiring oxygen.

Exercise performed aerobically—running, swimming, cycling—increases heart rate and oxygen consumption over sustained periods: She works out aerobically three times a week.

In biology, organisms that function aerobically depend on oxygen for metabolism, as opposed to anaerobic processes that don't.
