The lactic acid energy system can be likened to a powerful SUV that emits plenty of smog. This energy system is fast and maintains good power, with limited endurance and a whole lot of waste product that hurts. This system last 1-3min and produces ATP quickly, but uses a lot of carbohydrate (its fuel source) to [...]
