Question

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?

Answer 1

Frida is lacking air, or oxygen, because of her exercising. She starts panting quickly to take in air faster and make up for the oxygen loss. The heart beats hard during exercise, and needs oxygen to return to a normal pace

Answer 2

Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration

Explanation: Anaerobic cellular respiration occurs and due to the lack of oxygen she takes deeper breaths. That way, there's oxygen in the muscles while respiration occurs.
