In order for strenuous exercise to continue, high-energy phosphates must be resynthesised at a rapid rate (McArdle et al). Glycogen stored in the muscle is the main source of energy during intense exercise. This results in the phosphorylation of ADP through anaerobic glycolysis and leads to the formation of lactate. According to McArdle et al, rapid, large accumulations of blood lactate occur during maximal exercise. Decreasing the intensity of the exercise will decrease the rate of accumulation and the final level of blood lactate.
