Muscle cells need more oxygen when they are working hard. When you are working very hard and you begin to respire anaerobically (when the muscles don't get enough oxygen so work without it) your muscles produce a bi product of lactic acid, which is what makes them ache.

Your muscles need oxygen to break down this acid into water and carbon dioxide, and this is called an oxygen debt.

That is why you keep breathing heavily after you have stopped doing the activity.

Muscle cells are called muscle fibers because of their long, slender shape that resembles a fiber. The structure of muscle cells allows them to contract and generate force, which is essential for muscle function. The term "fiber" is used to describe the long, cylindrical shape of these cells that run parallel to each other in muscle tissue.

What happens when your muscles cells run out of oxygen?

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.
