Fermentation

An anaerobic process in which a limited amount of ATP is produced from glucose. Fermentation produces a characteristic end product.
This runner's muscle cells are carrying out lactic acid fermentation. When the muscles do not have enough oxygen for aerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation occurs .Lactic acid, which may be responsible for muscle soreness, is produced as a byproduct.
