Oxygen and it's Effects on Muscle Aches and Pains
|
The earth is composed of over 100 elements, the most abundant of which is oxygen. Oxygen is essential to the survival of all living
matter. We can live without food for weeks and without water for days, but take away our supply of oxygen for just 4 minutes and death
is almost assured.
For athletes a lack of oxygen will severely hamper performance by causing an increase in lactic acid in the muscles and a loss of
energy. Without sufficient oxygen, your muscles will reduce glucose into lactate and release hydrogen ions into the muscles, leading to
pain, cramps, and fatigue.
