The soreness usually disappears within about 72 hours after appearing. If treatment is desired, any measure that increases blood flow to the muscle, such as low-intensity activity, massage, nerve mobilization, [15] hot baths, [16] [17] or a sauna visit may help somewhat. [11]: 112
Exercise-induced delayed onset muscle soreness is not caused by lactic acid build-up. Muscular lactic acid levels return to normal levels within an hour after exercise; delayed onset muscle soreness is thought to be due to microtrauma from unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. [283] Stretching before or after exercise does not reduce delayed ...

It was once believed that lactic acid build-up was the cause of muscle fatigue. [8] The assumption was lactic acid had a "pickling" effect on muscles, inhibiting their ability to contract. Though the impact of lactic acid on performance is now uncertain, it may assist or hinder muscle fatigue.
For example, exercises that are performed at maximum rates for between 1 and 3 minutes depend heavily upon the lactic acid system. [1] In activities such as running 1500 meters or a mile, the lactic acid system is used predominantly for the "kick" at the end of the race. [4]: 11–12
After extended exercise, the release channels can begin to leak and cause muscle fatigue. The anaerobic energy systems are: The alactic anaerobic system, which consists of high energy phosphates, adenosine triphosphate, and creatine phosphate; and [12] The lactic anaerobic system, which features anaerobic glycolysis. [12]
Undissociated lactic acid can cross the rumen wall to the blood, [29] where it dissociates, lowering blood pH. Both L and D isomers of lactic acid are produced in the rumen; [24] these isomers are metabolized by different metabolic pathways, and activity of the principal enzyme involved in metabolism of the D isomer declines greatly with lower ...
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, informally called afterburn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity.In historical contexts the term "oxygen debt" was popularized to explain or perhaps attempt to quantify anaerobic energy expenditure, particularly as regards lactic acid/lactate metabolism; [1] in fact, the term "oxygen debt" is still widely ...
