A
Aerobic respiration occurs with oxygen and releases more energy but more slowly. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly
2
Q
why do you use anaerobic resperation when running
A
Anaerobic energy is required for short, higher intensity periods of running or sprinting
3
