Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 Dr. Peck, I think Mr. Mendoza could be referring to a review article published in AJP by Robergs and colleagues: http://ajpregu.physiology.org/cgi/content/short/287/3/R502 In short, they propose that lactate is not the culprit in human muscle fatigue, but may aid in muscle activity. To add to the discussion, here is a current debate published in the April 2006 issue of JAP: Point:Counterpoint: Lactic acid accumulation is an advantage/disadvantage during muscle activity J Appl Physiol, Apr 2006; 100: 1410 - 1412. I have a PDF copy if you's like. Just e-mail me.

What kind of credibility is that>>> > Quote
