Lactic acid levels continue to rise after exercise due to a condition known as “oxygen debt” or “lactate accumulation.” Even after exercise ends, the body needs time to clear lactic acid from the muscles and blood. This process requires oxygen, which is why lactic acid levels can remain elevated until the body returns to its resting state.
