  2. Lactate threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_threshold

    Aerobic training will not increase lactic acid tolerance, however, it will increase the lactate threshold. [2] Anaerobic training will increase tolerance of the effects of lactic acid over time, allowing the muscles’ ability to work in the presence of increased lactic acid.

  3. Cooling down - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_down

    It aids in decreasing the body's temperature, removing lactic acid from the muscles and increasing flexibility. [5] Each stretch should be held for a minimum of 10–20 seconds and stretched to the point of mild discomfort but not pain. [7] Each muscle used in mid-high-intensity exercise should then be stretched during the cool-down. [7]

  4. Cori cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cori_cycle

    Cori cycle. The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, [1] is a metabolic pathway in which lactate, produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles, is transported to the liver and converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.

  5. Anaerobic exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_exercise

    Anaerobic exercise is a type of exercise that breaks down glucose in the body without using oxygen; anaerobic means "without oxygen". [1] This type of exercise leads to a buildup of lactic acid. [1] In practical terms, this means that anaerobic exercise is more intense, but shorter in duration than aerobic exercise. [2] Fox and Haskell formula

  6. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Lactic acid also has a negating effect on the chloride ions in the muscles, reducing their inhibition of contraction and leaving potassium ions as the only restricting influence on muscle contractions, though the effects of potassium are much less than if there were no lactic acid to remove the chloride ions.

  7. Water aerobics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_aerobics

    The push and pull of the water allows both increased muscle training and a built-in safety barrier for joints. In fact, before water aerobics water, injury therapy used the benefits of water. The water also helps to reduce lactic acid buildup. [1] Another obvious benefit to water exercise is the cooling effect of the water on the system.

  8. Cahill cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahill_cycle

    The Cahill cycle, also known as the alanine cycle or glucose-alanine cycle, [1] is the series of reactions in which amino groups and carbons from muscle are transported to the liver. [2] It is quite similar to the Cori cycle in the cycling of nutrients between skeletal muscle and the liver. [ 1 ]

  9. Lactic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acidosis

    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 ...
