There’s NO Lactic Acid in your Body!
There are many mistaken notions concerning lactic acid and exercise. The greatest, by far, is the idea that there is lactic acid in the human body – there is no lactic acid in the human body, NONE.
Most of us believe “lactic acid” is an end product of exercising hard and that it causes local muscle fatigue and muscle failure (a burning sensation by increasing the acidity of the tissues to the point where they can no longer function effectively). This is simply not true, what we are feeling are pain (nerve) receptors sensing a chemical breakdown of energy production that is reaching its physiological limit, it’s not lactic acid.
I find it interesting that so called “professionals or experts” still bandy this term around as well.
