Anaerobic exercise is any activity that breaks down glucose for energy without using oxygen. Generally, these activities are of short length with high intensity.

Aerobic exercise produces energy using a continuous supply of oxygen to sustain the current level of activity without needing additional energy from another source. But anaerobic exercise prompts your body to demand more energy than your aerobic system can produce.

To produce more energy, your body uses its anaerobic system, which relies on energy sources stored in your muscles.

Oxygen is required for the body to be able to use fat for fuel. Since aerobic exercise uses oxygen to produce energy, it can use both fat and glucose for fuel. Anaerobic exercise, on the other hand, can only use glucose for fuel.

Glucose is available in the muscles for quick and short bursts of movement, and can be used when the aerobic system is maxed out for a short period of time.

When you begin to exercise vigorously, there is a temporary shortage of oxygen getting delivered to your working muscles. That means anaerobic exercise must be fueled using glucose through a process called glycolysis.

Glycolysis occurs in muscle cells during high-intensity training without oxygen, producing energy quickly. This process also produces lactic acid, which is the reason why your muscles get so tired after the energy burst.

By engaging in anaerobic exercise regularly, your body will be able to tolerate and eliminate lactic acid more effectively. That means you’ll get tired less quickly.

Whenever you exercise, the least amount of pressure is placed on your heart during the exhale.

In addition to what others have said, the way we feel fatigue is when we feel acidity in our muscles. The two main types of acid in our muscles are lactic acid and carbonic acid. Lactic acid is produced by creating energy without using oxygen (anaerobic metabolism) and carbonic acid is the result of higher carbon dioxide (produced by aerobic metabolism) levels in the blood.

Not exhaling enough prevents the body from purging the carbon dioxide and makes our blood more acidic with carbonic acid, which can then be felt by our muscles. The main muscle where we feel this acidity is our diaphragm where it registers as the urge to breathe, but other muscles register it to a lesser extent.

So when you’re not inhaling enough, you’re not getting as much oxygen into the bloodstream and producing more of your energy through anaerobic metabolism. And when you’re not exhaling enough, you’re not venting enough carbon dioxide and your blood is more acidic. Both of these result in feeling more acidity in your muscles and your brain interprets that as fatigue.

I’ll assume is because of oxygen. I’m no doctor but I’ll put my two cents in. When your exhaling you’re getting rid of oxygen in your lungs. Oxygen makes your muscles (and the rest of your body) function so if you hold your breath, you’re losing oxygen and carbon dioxide builds in your lungs. So when you exhale you’re getting more oxygen in, rather than just holding that and carbon dioxide in your lungs. That’s my guess I’ll go now
