That might be it. Thank you. If anyone wants to read more about it it's called Cori Cycle and it doesn't require oxygen and it doesn't produce CO2.
But you'll need to get energy eventually from normal beathing to recycle lactic acid back into glucose in the liver.
So probably after an hour of intense exercise you'll be breathing out more CO2 in the following hours as your body clears up lactic acid.
What's interesting is you get 2ATP from making lactate, but you need 6ATP to recycle lactate back into glucose.
Would that mean that for burning more calories you should have as much of anerobic excercises as possible because it's really ineficient use of glucose?
Thanks for the hint. I didnt know that one needs co2 to get rid of lactact
And to that question as said I am nonexpert. Imho sport after a certain (1h or so) time is a mix of both and should burn most calories in a healthy way. As far as I know there was a downside to having too much lactat. And burning calories aint synonym with burning body fat. Short intensity anerobic training is not atacking bodyfat in my opinion. It only uses the reserv in carbs we have anyway ( around 2000kcal) Biking is the best exercise for bodyfatburning in my opinion. If it is more than 2h.
