| Some pathways operate aerobically (they need oxygen) whereas others
run anaerobically (they do not use oxygen). They had built a manure lagoon
according to state specifications, but instead of functioning
aerobically, the lagoon processed manure anaerobically, worsening the
smell of the sulfur-laden water as it evaporated. The researchers reasoned that if active recovery improves
subsequent work bout performance, it must contribute to overall energy
yield--either aerobically, anaerobically or both. |
