Exploring the Southern Constellations. September 2008 : In the summer of 1865, noted American newspaperman and politician Horace Greeley penned, in an editorial, an admonishment to young civil servants in Washington DC. Greeley urged those who complained of low pay grades in the Capitol area to âGo west, young man!â.
When your muscles can't get enough oxygen during a short burst of exercise, they start to make use of a pathway called lactic acid fermentation, which generates a small three-carbon compound called lactic acid or lactate as a byproduct of glucose breakdown.
Lactic acid is not thought to be a contributor to fatigue in low-moderate intensity activity of any duration. Lactate is an important substrate that can be used during submaximal exercise, recovery and at rest. It is the preferred source of fuel for the heart and brain.Lactic acid or lactate pooling is not the cause of delayed muscle soreness. Lactate accumulation and not necessarily an increase in production, causes an increase concentration of hydrogen ions and corresponding acidosis.Lactate production may actually help to curb the development of acidosis.actic acid is not thought to be a contributor to fatigue in low-moderate intensity activity of any duration.
