Pretty apt I'd say.
I also think Merab has McArdle disease:
A condition where you don't produce lactic acid is not a known disease; instead, conditions like
McArdle disease prevent the body from producing lactic acid during exercise, leading to a lack of muscle pain associated with it. Conversely,
lactic acidosis is a condition where lactic acid builds up, usually due to a lack of oxygen or a problem with how it's metabolized.
Conditions involving a lack of lactic acid production
- McArdle disease:This is a type of muscle glycogenosis where the body cannot break down stored glycogen for energy during exercise. This leads to a lack of lactic acid production and the absence of the "burn" that usually accompanies intense exercise.
- Symptoms: Instead of pain, people with McArdle disease may experience muscle weakness, cramps, or pain, but these are different from the usual exercise-induced pain.
- Medical significance: The lack of a "no pain, no gain" signal means those with this condition need to be more aware of their bodies' limits to avoid injury.
