Unfit people just can't stay oxidative long enough to remain aerobic, so most of the energy produced are locked up in the muscle cells. During vigorous activities, muscle cell do not get a sufficient supply of oxygen to meet it energy requirements. As a result, the muscle cells are said to have incurred an "oxygen debt" since they have used up more energy than was possible from the energy supplied to them.
