Lactate and Fatigue
Lactate, often misunderstood as a cause of fatigue, actually plays a crucial role in delaying it by interacting with hydrogen during muscular contraction. When oxygen is limited, the body produces lactate as a byproduct, which can help maintain performance. Additionally, using sodium bicarbonate can temporarily shift the body's pH towards a more alkaline state, further delaying fatigue during workouts. However, caution is advised due to potential gastric distress.In this clip
