Hi forum
I was reading an older thread and found the above about lactic acid. I think I´ve never felt it. If its the same feeling someone gets when hes extensively using a muscle (burning feeling), I have never felt it during a dive or apnea. Does that mean that my muscles work in aerobic mode? Is it possible to change it or it depends only on the type of the muscle fiber?
For the best performance it is actually desirable to have as much lactic acids in the muscles as possible during the dive. Lactics just mean that your muscles are working anaerobically and not consuming much oxygen, which is a good thing. If you don't get any lactics, it's a sign that your muscles are working aerobically, i.e. using oxygen, which is the last thing you want when doing dynamic apnea. If the problem is that you can't stand the lactics, you could do some strength training and anaerobic interval training to get used to it.
