Describe lactic acid threshold and how it is relevant to runners.
First, understand that lactic acid or lactate is produced and released in equal amounts during steady-state exercise and rest. It is when the muscles,liver, and heart get fueled by lactate, especially during moderate exercise intensity at a steady state. However, with high exercise intensity, lactate production overwhelms its absorption, leading to excessive accumulation in the bloodstream- it is the point called lactate threshold. It gives advantage to runners because a higher lactic acid threshold keeps them running at a high intensity for extended periods without quickly getting tired.
