I have the same question, and I think it's because muscles have the gathering and building up of Lactic Acid, while bread has air pockets of carbon dioxide, so one is storing it up, the other is holding it in.
Yeast, most commonly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the fermentable sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as the carbon dioxide forms pockets or bubbles. Brewer's yeast (also known as brewing yeast) can mean any live yeast used in brewing. It can also mean yeast obtained as a by-product of brewing, dried and killed, and used as a dietary supplement for its B vitamin content.
When yeast reacts with sugar in bread dough, it undergoes fermentation. During fermentation, yeast consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. The carbon dioxide gas creates bubbles in the dough, causing it to rise and become light and fluffy. This process is essential for leavening the bread and giving it its airy texture.
The metabolic pathway taking place in this scenario is fermentation, specifically yeast fermentation. During fermentation, yeast consumes sugars present in the dough and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. The carbon dioxide gas gets trapped within the dough, causing it to rise and give a puffed appearance when baked.
fermentation starts as soon as the water sugar and yeast is mixed into the flour to make a dough.this is the period when the dough is left to rest and rise till double in size before it is knocked back and portioned for further shaping / moulding. proofing is the period when the shaped / moulded dough is rested till double in size before baking.
the two main types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. The two main types of fermentation are: 1.) Alcoholic fermentation 2.) Lactic acid fermentation

Carbon dioxide
The yeast consumes the natural sugars in the dough and causes bubbles to form. This causes the dough to rise. It's being blown up by the yeast.
Alcoholic fermentation
The product of alcoholic fermentation that causes dough to rise and creates the little holes in bread is carbon dioxide. During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas, which gets trapped in the dough. This gas expands when heated during baking, leading to the dough rising and forming the characteristic holes in the bread.
Fermentation causes bread dough to rise. Certain yeasts and bacteria are capable of producing energy from sugars through fermentation. Yeast such as S. cerevisiae causes bread dough to rise. - Intro to Biotechnology (Third Edition): Thieman & Palladino
Fermentation - creates bubbles of carbon dioxide... which causes the dough to rise, and gives bread light, open texture.
which changes can you observe during the fermentation of dough
the carbon dioxide that is produced during fermentation expands which causes the dough to rise and the coagulation of the protein gluten prevents the dough from falling back into its original state (flat).
Carbon dioxide is the gas produced by yeast cells during fermentation that causes bread dough to rise through the process of leavening. This gas gets trapped in the dough, creating air pockets that expand and make the bread rise.
The gas that contributes to dough rising is carbon dioxide. Yeast produces carbon dioxide through fermentation, leading to air pockets forming in the dough which causes it to double in size.
Yeast itself causes fermentation, when added to a suitable mix, such as oats (beer), fruit (wines) or a flour mix (dough). This requires the addition of some moisture, warmth and perhaps a bit of sugar. What happens is that yeast will grow (multiply) and this process releases various gasses and chemicals. This is what causes fruit to become alcoholic, and causes dough to rise so you can bake bread.
