What
is Lactate testing?
This is an incremental step test consisting of 5 minute segments at pre-defined paces.
Following each step, blood lactate levels are immediately analyzed and recorded.
The purpose of this test is to determine the athlete's LACTATE THRESHOLD.
What is Lactate Threshold?
This is the maximum steady state effort that the body can sustain.
At any point above this threshold, the body produces excess lactate which correlates with the rapid onset of fatigue.
Why is this important?
Knowing one's lactate threshold is essential because it allows the athlete to add structure and quality to his/her workouts.
It helps the athlete determine his/her weaknesses (i.e. the point he/she needs to work on).
It also helps him/her keep track of progress across training cycles.
More importantly, it helps determine the athlete's appropriate intensities for all types of races (i.e. race pace).
