- Crossing the lactic acid threshold is the defining mechanism of HIIT; aerobic exercise below it produces negligible hormonal benefit. — High-Intensity Interval Training: Definition, Mechanisms, and Execution
- Crossing into anaerobic territory causes a burning sensation in muscles that is the signal triggering HGH release. — High-Intensity Interval Training: Definition, Mechanisms, and Execution
- The body responds to crossing the lactic acid threshold by releasing HGH to repair and strengthen muscle tissue. — High-Intensity Interval Training: Definition, Mechanisms, and Execution
- Resting too long between intervals allows lactic acid to dissipate, eliminating the cumulative staircase heart-rate effect. — High-Intensity Interval Training: Definition, Mechanisms, and Execution
- Residual lactic acid from each interval drives the next interval's peak heart rate higher. — High-Intensity Interval Training: Definition, Mechanisms, and Execution
