LDH allows humans to perform strenuous exercises for a longer length of time. Without LDH, humans would not have an adequate amount of ATP to sucessfully perform intense exercises such as running, biking, etc. LDH allows our bodies to convert pyruvate into something that our body can utilize (lactate) to produce ATP.
