Glycolysis & Respiration
2
When you exercise When you exercise Feeling The “Burn” –Muscles need energy in order to perform work –Your cells use oxygen to release energy from the sugar glucose
3
Aerobic metabolism Aerobic metabolism –When enough oxygen reaches cells to support energy needs Anaerobic metabolism Anaerobic metabolism –When the demand for oxygen outstrips the body’s ability to deliver it Types of Metabolism

Without enough oxygen, muscle cells break down glucose to produce lactic acid Without enough oxygen, muscle cells break down glucose to produce lactic acid –the “burn” associated with heavy exercise If too much lactic acid builds up, muscles give out If too much lactic acid builds up, muscles give out Anaerobic Metabolism
