Why not? CO2 levels in blood must be tightly controlled. It probably can't get twice as high as usual.
If there's already 4% of CO2 in the air around you it's an immediate danger. While you can spend 10 minutes in 3%.
If your body could bump up CO2 in exhaled air from 4% to 8% then you'd probably have bo problem surviving in air thay contains 4%.
Its a mix of anerobic and erobic exercis. Its hard to keep the same heart rate while biking. So sometimes the body doesnt need oxygen to burn fuel. So it doesnt exhale co2. As said I am no expert.
That might be it. Thank you. If anyone wants to read more about it it's called Cori Cycle and it doesn't require oxygen and it doesn't produce CO2.
But you'll need to get energy eventually from normal beathing to recycle lactic acid back into glucose in the liver.
So probably after an hour of intense exercise you'll be breathing out more CO2 in the following hours as your body clears up lactic acid.
What's interesting is you get 2ATP from making lactate, but you need 6ATP to recycle lactate back into glucose.
Would that mean that for burning more calories you should have as much of anerobic excercises as possible because it's really ineficient use of glucose?
