When muscles run low on oxygen, they switch to anaerobic metabolism and produce lactic acid, leading to muscle fatigue and soreness. This can happen during intense exercise when oxygen demand exceeds supply.
because your blood carries oxygen to you muscles. without much oxygen blood won't be able to take lots to your muscles, and with little oxygen your muscles won't work as well and therefore you won't run as quickly :)
well if muscles run out of oxygen you might slow down and not breath proppely and you might also die.
Your muscles need oxygen to work and oxygen is carried through the blood, propelled by the heart. When you run, you use muscles and your heart beats faster to increase the amount of oxygen reaching the muscles being used.
Yes. When your muscles don't get enough oxygen they must obtain oxygen through a process called lactic acid fermentation. The lactic acid that forms as a result causes a burning sensation.
- Muscles require oxygen to function - When running, you are working muscles - Blood carries oxygen, the heart pumps blood When running, as the muscles require more oxygen to work harder, the heart must pump blood around your body quicker, delivering more oxygen to the muscles that require it. The way that the heart does this is to increase heart rate.
Because you are making the heart work faster, having to pump more blood round it. Blood needs oxygen and therefore you pant.
Your body uses oxygen make energy, and muscles need energy to relax and contract, or flex. As you run, the demand for energy in your muscles increases, and so your lungs work harder to provide the oxygen your muscles are begging for. The result of higher demand for oxygen is faster deeper breaths.
Cells that do not require oxygen go through anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration that uses fermentation to turn energy into useful energy. There are two types of anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Muscle cells do this when they run out of oxygen and go through fermentation instead. The product of this type of fermentation from muscle cells is lactic acid. Lactic acid is toxic and causes soreness and fatigue. Anybody who has been sore after exercise has experienced lactic acid fermentation.
no.
It takes 6 main muscles to run!!!
there are 36 muscles in a run mile
