I happened to walk by the TV the other day when someone was watching it. I only caught a second of the show and didn't hear the explanation for this (if there was one).

 

Anyway, the question. It said that after a hard workout, hockey golies sit in an ice bath to remove the lactic acid from their legs. Why does this work and when should it be used? Would it be wise after any workout or just very strenuous ones or never?

well there is the danger of dieing due to the heart problems from such an event... but i prosume lactic acid removal is to with vasco-constriction.
