Abstract in brief

Lactate, often thought to cause fatigue during exercise, actually isn't the main reason for muscle tiredness.
Recent research shows that lactate is a byproduct that the body produces to help generate energy, especially during intense activity.
The confusion comes from outdated beliefs; instead, other factors like muscle damage or dehydration are more likely to cause fatigue.]
