Exercise Physiology

1. Lactic Acid

   • Not the reason for delayed onset of muscle soreness
   • Clears via blood stream 1 hour after exercise
     • Uses the Cori-cycle to clear the lactate acid: lactate shuttle does it in the liver
     • After 20 min of exercise, 50% of lactic acid is cleared from the system
   • should do a cool down to help shuttle more lactic acid out
   • Ingest one or two more drinks of poweraid for boost in sugar/carbs and do a self-selected place of light jogging
     • reduces lactic acid faster

2. Training Anaerobic Systems

   • Work: Rest Ratio- 1:3 (10 second work: 30 seconds rest)
   • Regenerate 50% of PCr storages
   • Overload the system
     • work under primary % of storage work the system when its not fully recovered
