Detailed explanation-1: -This burning sensation is associated with a buildup of acid in the muscles during intense exercise, and lactic acid has long been thought to be the culprit in that acid buildup, known as acidosis. Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, in which the body produces energy without using oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -This happens because oxygen can’t get to the muscle fast enough to keep up with the amount of energy the muscle needs. “When your muscles are making energy anaerobically, lactic acid is created as a byproduct, ‘’ says Dr. Hedt.
Detailed explanation-3: -The extra oxygen you breathe in reacts with the lactic acid in your muscles, breaking it down to make carbon dioxide and water. As the lactic acid breaks down the cramps will begin to disappear.
