Articles about lactate testing and endurance training.
LD blood work measures the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, not blood lactate. How to read the lab range, what affects it, and what to log before the draw.
How to judge a portable lactate meter for winter step tests: a 100-point field scorecard, the 46-strip test block and a per-test cost formula.
Which parts of a lab lactate test transfer to a home setup and which don't: an 11-point parity audit, a step-grid precision rule and a sampling checklist.
Lactate Pro 2 analysis explained: how to log readings, how many strips to budget, and why a 0.2 mmol/L error moves LT1 by 10 watts but LT2 by under 5.
Lactate test progress tracking: a 16-field session record, a noise band you can calculate, three trend series, retest triggers and a worked 22-week example.
Triathletes need separate bike and run lactate tests. Test-week sequencing, eight matching tolerances, a 9 bpm worked example, swim sampling pitfalls, strip budget.
Learn how to compare lactate test results over time using matched protocols, stage deltas, curve overlays, quality checks, and a worked example.
Compare Lactate Plus, Lactate Pro 2, EDGE, Scout and Eaglenos using evidence, strip supply, workflow costs and a 100-point scorecard.
Compare lactate meter strip costs across systems. Learn how to calculate cost-per-test and avoid lock-in before buying a meter for home testing.
Learn how to calculate lactate threshold using step tests, heart rate methods, and online tools. Understand LT1 vs LT2 and choose the right approach.
Learn how mobile lactate testing brings blood lactate diagnostics to your training venue. Compare formats, equipment, and what to verify before booking.
Enter step-test workload and blood lactate values into an online lactate calculator to fit a curve, identify LT1 and LT2 thresholds, and map training zones.
