The two processes that help athletes generate more energy to continue running, especially when they are experiencing muscular fatigue due to a lack of oxygen, are:

  1. Anaerobic respiration
  2. Lactic acid fermentation

Aerobic respiration primarily relies on oxygen, and photosynthesis is not relevant to human energy generation. Therefore, the correct selections are anaerobic respiration and lactic acid fermentation.
