Lactic Acid Pathway p. 2
When you stop exercising vigorously, you still breath hard for
awhile so that the lactic acid buildup in your muscles can be oxidized
to convert back into pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid can then continue
on the normal path of aerobic respiration as you catch your breath
and bring enough oxygen back into the mitochondria to allow the
electron transport system to proceed.
