  • During a strenuous exercise, there is a shortage of oxygen, in the body which is why the muscles perform anaerobic respiration (respiration in absence of oxygen).
  • The glucose present in the muscle cells is changed into lactic acid. As lactic acid accumulates, our muscles begin to ache, and we feel tired.
