"draining fluid from your legs"

Can you repeat the question?

I'm gonna have to read that one about five more times, at least.
Was 1986 the latest data you could find? That's kind of old.

Nope, the 1986 one is just the paper that was cited in Cycling news.
pubmed.org can give you more.
i also checked the biochemical pathways and wikipedia for the ATP yields.

While ya'll are sorting all this out, could the lactic acid increasing mitochondria (mitochondrial mass) jive with some of the information I seem to have understood that the aging process is linked to mitochondria dying?

And the increase in the mitochondria mass would be one reason why exercise and training seems to delay some of the effects associated with aging?

(I only use rolling pins for baking and elevate my legs after cycling as I lay on my back to stretch out my hams)

I'm just going to imagine that it's beer in there and pop a tap in to see if I can get it out.
