Lactic Acidosis occurs naturally during vigorous exercise.Latic acid or lactate is a by-product of metabolism that builds up in muscles and blood during stenuous activity.Lactic acidosis due to exercise is temporary and is usually not harmful.
Every person has an upper limit of exercise ability,called the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold.The lactate thershold is basically a measurement of how fit the Heart and blood vessels are.With regular exercise training,a persons lactate threshold goes up.
Exercising at an intensity level below the lactate threshold will produce very little lactic acid and the body quickly clears what is produced.A person canexercise below the lactate threshold for a long time.Once the intensity of the exercise exceeds the lactate threshold,muscles begain to use glucose inefficiently,though alternate chemical reactions.Lactic acid is produced and can rapidly buildup in the blood & muscles.
LACTIC ACIDOSIS SYMPTOMS
When a person's exercise intensity crosses the lactic threshold,the activity becomes much more difficult and unplesant.Muscles start to burn,the heart pounds more rapidly and the person is starving for air.The Muscles performing the exercise become extremely fatigued.These symtoms increase if a person continues to exercise above the lactic threshold.The person is physically unable to exercise any longer at that intensity.
LACTIC ACIDOSIS TREATMENT
Lactic acidosis due to exercise is usally not harmful and no treatment is nessary.Natural processes make exercise above the lactate threshold impossible for more than brief periods
Unlike lactic acidosis caused by serious medical conditions,the kidneys & liver usally can clear the extra lactic acid that accumulates from vigorous exercise
