Q

Runner quiz question why do runners slow down

A

When exercising at high intensity, the cells’ energy demands will exceed what the available levels of O2 can supply aerobically

Hence the body will begin breaking down glucose anaerobically to maximise ATP production

This will result in an increase in the production of lactic acid, which leads to muscle fatigue

When the individual stops exercising, oxygen levels will increase and lactate will be converted back to pyruvate
