Relationship between skeletal muscle mass and blood lactate level reduction after short squat jumps in healthy adult non-athletes

Conclusion] Our results demonstrated that greater skeletal muscle mass enabled a greater decrease in blood lactate level, suggesting that skeletal muscle mass may be involved in the reduction of blood lactate level after a squat jump. Interventions to increase skeletal muscle mass may promote more efficient lactate metabolism and muscle fatigue recovery.PMID:34658512 | PMC:PMC8516611 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.33.717
