Anaerobic respiration yields ATP quickly without oxygen but produces lactate, causing fatigue; it's suited for short, intense exercises.
Anaerobic respiration (glycolysis) produces ATP rapidly without oxygen, resulting in lactate build-up that causes fatigue, suitable for short, intense bursts of activity.
