Notes for people accustomed to thinking in miles. To convert from km to miles divide by 8 and multiply by 5. To convert from miles to km divide by 5 and multiply by 8. So 80 km = 50 miles, 160 km = 100 miles.
Causes of Lactic Acidosis. Lactic Acidosis is caused if a person reaches the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. This is the upper limit of the ability of an individual's body to exercise. When a person exercises at a limit below the lactate threshold, very little lactic acid will be produced.
Lactate is produced in excess by muscle cells, red blood cells, brain, and other tissues when there is insufficient oxygen at the cellular level or when the primary way of producing energy in the body's cells is disrupted. Excess lactate can lead to lactic acidosis.
