In explaining lactic acid and exercise I am forced to dive into many other areas pertaining to the last few chapters that we have been covering in class. In other words, you are right, this is a good form of studying because exercise physiology is one of those things were you can …

…aerobic exercise the muscles are given the needed oxygen to properly resynthesize lactic acid and form more ATP, as opposed to simply cutting off oxygen distribution as muscles would be if you drastically stopped after maximum threshold. From carbohydrates, to glucose and glycogen, through glycosis and into pyruvate, and finally to lactate and through the krebs cycle the body finds ways to release the needed energy with or with out oxygen.
