What Happens During Exercise At 90% Of Maximum Heart Rate? When exercising at 90 percent of your maximum heart rate, your breathing will be very rapid as your cardiovascular system works strenuously to provide enough oxygen and energy to your working muscles. Only the best-conditioned athletes are able to exercise at this level for very long.

According to experts at Rice University, most people exercising this hard will have difficulty getting enough oxygen to their contracting muscles, and as a result, your muscles will switch from using oxygen to burn energy (aerobic) to burning energy without oxygen (anaerobic). While jogging, most people are burning energy aerobically and anaerobically. At this pace, the body is able to remove the lactic acid that is produced by the anaerobic process. But as the pace quickens, more lactic acid is produced, and eventually the accumulation of lactic acid in the bloodstream becomes so great that the muscles start burning, and eventually the exercise has to stop.
