Summary Introduction

Introduction: The muscle cells of the human body uses the anaerobic respiration during heavy exercises such as intense weight lifting, swimming and sprinting. During this process the glucose molecules is utilised for the formation of energy molecules such as ATP. This process does not require oxygen molecules and thus it is called as anaerobic respiration.
