It is considered that during especially intensive physical exercises lactic acid accumulates in muscles, causing pain and discomfort. According to the last researches, it not absolutely so. Anyway, it is possible to try to minimize unpleasant side effects of trainings.
Instruction
1. Lactic acid represents the consequence of process of glycolysis - disintegration of the glycogen and glucose. Actually it is the glucose molecule split in half. Disintegration of glucose serves for formation of useful substances (pyruvates) which are used as the energy source by muscle cells. However at intensive training because of acceleration of glycolysis the excess of pyruvates is formed, and lactic acid is formed of them. Despite the settled stereotype, researches say that not always lactic acid is the reason of pain in muscles after the training (frequent this investigation of microscopic ruptures of fibers). Negative effect of lactic acid is more shown in decrease in power generation, difficulty of nerve conduction and reductions of muscles. That is why physical exercises are often followed by fatigue. Meanwhile, lactic acid - the important energy source and also initial material for synthesis of the glycogen and glucose. It is mainly used by muscles as power fuel at intensive loadings so actually it is useful and necessary. Residue of lactic acid in kidneys and the liver will be transformed to glucose.
2. To minimize negative side effect of trainings in the form of pain and strong fatigue, follow several rules. First, always do warm-up at the beginning of the occupation, warming muscles. Don't forget also about the extension. As for the extension, it is necessary both to, and after the training. Special attention needs to be paid to strain of muscle which was involved most longer.
3. Increase loadings gradually as you are ready to it. If you the beginner or didn't perform long ago physical exercises, then don't seek to break the records at once. Begin with the short trainings which aren't demanding preparation. Gradually you pass to more intensive occupations.
4. Be not obsessed with pain and discomfort. In process of your fitness of these unpleasant manifestations will be less and less. The more trained is the person, the his muscles are recovered quicker. And if sometimes muscles hurt a little, it can be even pleasant - you know that you well worked during the training. It is the indicator that muscles develop and will become stronger soon.
