A buildup in lactic acid is the culprit. This buildup only occurs when anaerobic exercise, such as sprinting and weight lifting, is performed.

Why exercise makes you stronger?

What happens to muscles with regular exercise?

Exercise causes the muscle to break apart. When your body repairs this damage, new muscle tissue is made. This causes the muscle to grow over time

What type of exercise causes increase in muscle size?

Hypertrophy.


What causes muscle cramping after vigorous exercise or repeated movement?

Muscle contraction and relaxation require salts which are lost through sweat during vigorous exercise. This causes some muscles particularly low in these materials to contract uncontrollably, creating a cramp.


What are physiological factors that are results of warming up?

Warming up (light exercise before more strenuous exercise) results in vasodilation of the skeletal circulation. This causes increased blood supply to the skeletal muscle to satisfy the oxygen and nutrient demands of the increased metabolic activity of the muscle during exercise.


What causes the phenomenon known as muscle pump?

The phenomenon known as muscle pump is caused by increased blood flow to the muscles during exercise, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products.


What product of anaerobic respiration causes muscle burning?

Lactic acid is the product of anaerobic respiration that causes muscle burning or soreness during intense exercise. This occurs when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles, leading to the buildup of lactic acid as a byproduct.
