Lactate as the byproduct of intense exercise is often to blame for the burning muscle sensation. “The issue is that when you move lactate around, it moves hydrogen ions around with it, and those ...
Lactic acidosis refers to the process leading to the production of lactate by anaerobic metabolism. It increases hydrogen ion concentration tending to the state of acidemia or low pH. The result can be detected with high levels of lactate and low levels of bicarbonate. This is usually considered the result of illness but also results from ...
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise. [1][2]: 63 It is thought to be caused by eccentric (lengthening) exercise, which causes small-scale damage (microtrauma) to the muscle fibers.
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.
Lactate inflection point (LIP) is the exercise intensity at which the blood concentration of lactate and/or lactic acid begins to increase rapidly. [1] It is often expressed as 85% of maximum heart rate or 75% of maximum oxygen intake. [2] When exercising at or below the lactate threshold, any lactate produced by the muscles is removed by the ...

Cramp. A cramp is a sudden, involuntary, painful skeletal muscle contraction [1][2] or overshortening associated with electrical activity; [3] while generally temporary and non-damaging, they can cause significant pain and a paralysis -like immobility of the affected muscle. A cramp usually goes away on its own over a period of several seconds ...
Plankton + PHA Flower Acid Algae Serum. Mara's lightweight lotion-like serum refreshes skin in more ways than one. In appearance, it uses lactic acid and PHA to exfoliate and clarify; and in ...
