Cells can probably live for less than an hour without oxygen because it is the only thing that keeps them alive besides water. That is the reason why we breathe every second of the day, even when we are asleep because our cells need oxygen 24/7 to live.

How do human muscle cells get oxygen?
The process in muscles which uses oxygen is called respiration. Muscles, like all aerobic living cells, require oxygen for aerobic respiration, which is the process by which cells convert food into energy. So when muscles contract, they are using oxygen. When muscles do not get sufficient oxygen for contraction, problems arise. The muscle cells must use anaerobic repiration which is respiration without oxygen. They cannot do this for very long though as the byproduct of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid which causes a fall in pH.
