Glycolysis
Glycolysis does not depend on oxygen. It is the anaerobic part of cellular respiration and can produce 2 molecules of ATP without oxygen.
glycolysis
The muscle continues to contract in the absence of oxygen through Glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm of a cell. It is called an anaerobic process, because it does not require oxygen.
If there is no oxygen present, then the cell does either alcohol or lactic acid fermentation. If oxygen is present, the citric acid cycle follows glycolysis, with oxidative phosphorylation following the citric acid cycle.

fermentation
When oxygen is present, the Krebs Cycle and then the Electron transport chain follow glycolysis. When oxygen is not present, a different pathway follows glycolysis. The combination of glycolysis and the different pathway is called fermentation.

Oxygen is required for ATP generation. However, that oxygen need not be in elemental form. Many organisms can obtain oxygen by breaking down oxygen-containing chemicals, like sugars and alcohols.
When the muscle cells are deprived of oxygen, the cells produce ATP through the anaerobic fermentation. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not need oxygen. In the glycolysis pathway, two ATPs are produced as net products. Also, anaerobic fermentation occurs. The pyuvate is converted into lactic acid and regnerate NAD using this process.
