My understanding is that to be poetry it tries to evoke the emotion captured in an experience. Frequently this is accompanied by rhythm and measure but certainly isn’t a requirement.

With how ADHD plagues some people, if a story isn’t finished, it can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Obsessive loops of thinking about what could happen instead of focusing on life.

This could be for a variety of reasons but the thing I think is most likely is that they could absorb oxygen much better avoid anaerobic respiration (low energy production)that creates lactic acid in the first place. If they are able to sustain aerobic respiration (high energy production) longer, they can have their bodily energy demands met and continue to do their activity never producing lactic acid.

The cause of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is separate from lactic acid but may be related in a person’s ability to metabolize and regenerate tissue as that guy clearly has an efficient body.
