Scientific articles for endurance athletes and coaches: from test execution to training planning.
Measured lactate values become useful when intensity, curve shape, LT1, LT2 and zones are interpreted together.
Flat sections, bends, steep rises and outliers tell you a lot about test quality and metabolic response.
Start power, watt increments, stage duration, sampling timing and analysis for cyclists who want LT1 and LT2 in watts.
