1. Myths about lactic acid
Two common myths are:
• Myth 1: Lactic acid causes the burning sensation during workouts.
• Myth 2: Lactic acid is responsible for soreness the next day.
2. How lactic acid assists in prolonging exercise duration
Lactic acid assist in prolonging exercise duration because it can be converted back into glucose
and be used to create more ATP
3. Joel Jamison's de nition of "conditioning"
Jamison de nes conditioning as: “A measure of how well an athlete is able to meet the energy
production demands of their sport.” It’s speci c to the sport for example, a basketball player
sustaining high energy across a game or a long jumper being able to jump and recover multiple
times.
4. Two components of glycolytic power
• Muscle tissue glycolytic: How glycolic muscles rely on anaerobic system for ATP and
they also contain a high number of enzymes to break down glucose for energy.
• Nervous system development: A well developed nervous system improves activation and
coordination for muscles to produce power.
5. What is glycolytic capacity?
Glycolytic capacity is how an athlete tolerates the byproducts of anaerobic exercise and converts
lactic acid back into usable energy (ATP). It also depends on having enough substrates like
glucose and glycogen.
6. How to improve the glycolytic lactic system
• Glycogen power can be improved by producing as much energy as possible in the
appropriate amount of time
• Glycogen capacity can be improved by training to sustain high intensity output for longer
with shorter rests and longer work periods.
