It is a common belief that lactic acid is what causes the burning sensation we feel when we do a hard bout of high intensity exercise, think higher rep weightlifting sessions or longer speed sessions (anaerobic glycolytic energy system). However, this actually a false belief, but one that is shared by many. How many times have you heard someone say that they really felt the "burn of the lactic acid build up".

The squat is predominantly a bilateral lower body compound exercise (uses multiple muscles), with particular emphasis placed on the quads, glute, and hamstring muscles. It Is an important and functional movement pattern that is demonstrated in everyday life.

Acceleration is exceptionally significant to an athletes performance in both track and field. Within a sprint, a poor acceleration can lead to losing the race, just like Bolt did at the last World Championships (2017). There should also be no surprise that the athletes in the NFL combine, who have the best 40 yard dash times, get the most significant contracts and tend to be the players who go on to succeed the most within the sport.
