Every heart bit pumps less blood, also dehydration reduces the ability to transport nutrition and oxygen to the muscles; temperature of the body increases.
6. In case of aerobic training, glycogen produces glucose and then it breaks down to produce oxygen and generate energy. During aerobic breathing the continuous break down of sugar will allow more activity to be done in comparison to anaerobic breathing which will just be able to consume the energy it currently has, and it won’t be able to produce more.
