    respectively.  Most of our cells prefer to get their energy by using oxygen to fuel metabolism.  During exercise with adequate fuel and oxygen (i.e.‚ aerobic)‚ muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue.  During anaerobic or non-oxygen conditions (i.e.‚ higher intensity exercise)‚ muscle cells must rely on other reactions that do not require oxygen to fuel muscle contraction.  This anaerobic metabolism in the cells produces waste molecules that can impair muscle contractions.  We call this

Lead poisoning occurs mainly by the inhibitory effect that the metal imposes on enzymes and subsequent distortion of essential biochemical pathways. The metal disrupts calcium metabolism and subsequently causes neurotoxicity. It also inhibits the reduction of glutathionine in a biochemical process meant to produce antioxidants. Lead also intrudes and redirects the heme synthesis pathway leading to build up of aminolevulinic acid
