Fitness increases anaerobic capacity during upper body exercise.

According to a study from Denmark, "We investigated arm perfusion and metabolism during upper body exercise. Eight average, fit subjects and seven rowers, mean±SE maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max)) 157±7 and 223±14 mL O₂ x kg^-0.73 x min^-1, respectively, performed incremental arm cranking to exhaustion. Arm blood flow (ABF) was measured with thermodilution and arm muscle mass was estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry."

"During maximal arm cranking, pulmonary VO₂ was {{approx}}45% higher in the rowers...
