The lactic acid energy system relies on the breakdown of glycogen to produce energy. As it does not require oxygen to break down glycogen a by-product called lactic acid is formed. If enough lactic acid is accumulated then the body begins to fatigue. To recover, the lactic acid requires oxygen. Once oxgen is present the lactic acid can be converted back to pyruvic acid which can once again be used to produce energy. Therefore to speed up recovery of the lactic system an "active"recovery at a low intencity is recommended. This then employs the use of the aerobic energy system which requires oxygen to be transported to the working muscles, and at the same time removing the fatiguing lactic acid.

How does an energy-recovery wheel improve system efficiency?

An energy-recovery wheel improves system efficiency by transferring heat and moisture between the incoming and outgoing air streams. This allows the system to recover energy that would otherwise be wasted to preheat or precool the incoming air, reducing the load on the heating and cooling systems.
