Muscles use aerobic respiration to metabolize the energy they need to function. When they have insufficient oxygen to metabolize all the energy they need, they use anaerobic respiration in the form of fermentation. The Lactic acid which is created as a by product of fermentation builds up in the muscles and causes soreness.

A buildup of lactic acid due to anaerobic fermentation in muscles is believed to be related to muscle cramps. This type of fermentation occurs when there is insufficient oxygen available to generate energy through aerobic respiration. Cramps can also be caused by dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and muscle fatigue.
During anaerobic respiration, muscle cells start producing energy without oxygen by breaking down glucose into lactic acid. This process helps generate ATP to keep muscle contractions going, but it also leads to the accumulation of lactic acid, causing muscle fatigue and soreness. This type of respiration is common in situations where oxygen supply is limited, such as during intense exercise.
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscles during rapid exercise when there is an insufficient supply of oxygen to support aerobic respiration. This process converts pyruvate into lactate, helping to regenerate NAD+ so glycolysis can continue to produce ATP for energy.
Anaerobic respiration is the process that releases energy without using oxygen. It occurs in the absence of oxygen and is less efficient than aerobic respiration. One example of anaerobic respiration is fermentation, which occurs in yeast cells and some bacteria.
Fermentation can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the specific type of fermentation and the environmental conditions. Factors such as temperature, type of microbes involved, and the desired outcome of the fermentation process can all impact the duration.
Lactic acid fermentation
It's not a type, it's a outcome of fermentation. A.K.A. a waste product
When muscle cells run out of oxygen, they switch to anaerobic metabolism, producing lactic acid as a byproduct. This can lead to muscle fatigue, cramping, and discomfort. If oxygen deprivation continues, it can eventually result in muscle cell damage and impaired function.

People used to think that a build-up of lactic acid was the cause of muscle soreness. That is not true. Lactic acid has nothing to do with it, therefore the fermentation process the body uses to get the lactic acid into the muscles is also not true. Muscle soreness is caused by the damage done to the muscle fibers. Muscle biopsies taken on the day after hard exercise show bleeding and disruption of the z-band filaments that hold muscle tissue together as they slide over each other during a contration. Scientists can tell how much muscle damage has occurred by measuring blood levels of a muscle enzyme called CPK. CPK is a normally found in muscles and is released into the bloodstream when muscles are damaged. Those exercisers who have the highest post-exercise blood levels of CPK often have the most soreness. Many people think that cooling down by exercising at a slow pace after exercising more vigorously, helps to prevent muscle soreness. It doesn't, cooling down speeds up removal of lactic acid from muscles, but a build-up of lactic acid does not cause muscle soreness, so cooling down will not prevent it. Stretching does not help either, since post-exercise soreness is not due to contracted muscle fibers.
Lactic acid is a type of organic acid that forms during anaerobic fermentation, such as during vigorous exercise when oxygen supply is limited. It is produced in muscles and can cause muscle fatigue and soreness. Lactic acid is also produced during the fermentation of certain foods like milk into yogurt.

The type of fermentation that sometimes occurs in human muscle cells is Lactic Acid fermentation.

If oxygen is not available in the body especially muscle it leads to fermentation in an anaerobic respiration.
Actually, eccentric contractions, where the muscle lengthens under tension, are the most likely to cause muscle soreness, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Isometric contractions, where the muscle length remains constant, typically do not result in as much soreness.
