After jogging for a while a person begins to experience burning muscle fatigue. Explain the reason for this. Be sure to identify the type of respiration responsible

anaerobic respiration.

Due to anaerobic respiration, one by- product of this process is lactic acid which builds up in the muscles and causes the fatigue.

Thats the short answer, I don't know if you want more details such as using the equations of both types of respiration, etc.

ANSWER:

Burning muscle fatigue is caused due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

When jogging, the glucose in the body converts to lactic acid and this breakdown gives energy for a maximum period of three minutes. This is anaerobic breakdown which results in lactate and hydrogen ion build up in the muscles thereby causing fatigue.

Anaerobic respiration is responsible for muscle fatigue as it transfers energy from glucose to cells in the absence of oxygen. This in turn produces lactic acid that causes muscle fatigue.
