Document Summary

Lactic acid production is associated with high intensity anaerobic exercise (when you use lactate using anaerobic energy system) The current thinking is that the dissociated hydrogen ion and increased acidity, not lactate itself, is the cause of fatigue. Lactate may be used as fuel during exercise. Lactate shuttles from fast-twitch muscle to oxidative slow-twitch muscle. Muscle glycogen is the primary fuel for endurance athletes, such as marathon runner. Studies have shown physical _ to be associated with very low muscle glycogen levels. Muscle fatigue in aerobic exercise with some glycogen remaining. Muscle fiber type: may be depleted in type i; type ii fibers require more mental effort to recruit. Use of fat for energy: muscle may need to rely on fat, which is less efficient as an energy source. Role of the brain : low muscle glycogen may send a signal to the brain. Low muscle glycogen and blood glucose will stimulate gluconeogenesis from protein.
