Conclusion
In conclusion, the belief that metabolic acidosis during exercise is caused by lactic acid production
is flawed; in fact, lactate production is essential for muscle function and may help delay acidosis,
which is caused by exercise. an increase in non-mitochondrial ATP and to remove protons from
muscle. Training increases the number of transporters, which improves lactate clearance and
reduces muscle fatigue. In addition, lactic acid acts as a protector against muscle fatigue. Lactate
has an important role in the intermediary metabolism of different tissues and its correct
knowledge is essential for understanding metabolism during exercise. The importance of working
with the greatest possible individualization in the evaluation and prescription of training is
mentioned. Lactate production is a buffer that helps remove protons from the muscle and allows
the regeneration of glycolytic ATP. Regarding the future of lactic acid, the lactate shuttle hypothesis
is mentioned, which suggests that lactate produced in fast-twitch muscle fibers can be used as fuel
by slow-twitch fibers. The protective effects of lactic acid on muscle strength recovery are also
discussed and it is suggested that the combination of elevated muscle temperature, lactic acidosis,
and catecholamines may counteract the depressive action of exercise-induced hyperkalemia. In
summary, the document presents a critical and updated view on the role of lactic acid in muscle
and sports physiology and suggests new lines of research to better understand its role in physical
performance.
