Anaerobic is “emergency” exercise without the need for oxygen, however it is less efficient than aerobic exercise, once the exercise is over additional oxygen is needed to deal with the toxic mess created during anaerobic exercise which can lead you to feel aches in your muscles as your body is telling you don’t do this again for a few minutes while we recover. Exercise isn’t always a clear anaerobic vs aerobic sometimes your body uses both at the same time especially making use of myoglobin in the muscles. Myoglobin like haemoglobin is an iron based protein which binds oxygen to itself. However myoglobin is found in the skeletal muscles and acts as an oxygen store in times of need. https://youtu.be/t6kQhilO04c
