What is Lactate and Lactic Acid?

The video explores the differences between lactate and lactic acid, dispelling common misconceptions about their roles in exercise. It clarifies that high-intensity exercise produces lactate, not lactic acid, and explains how lactate affects blood pH through the strong ion difference. The video also discusses the role of glycolysis in lactate production and the importance of maintaining electroneutrality in the blood. Future videos will cover how endurance training can enhance lactate clearance.
