Articles about lactate testing and endurance training.
Calculate training zones from LT1 and LT2, find lactate threshold heart rate, and check pace or power boundaries with worked examples and study sources.
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.
Learn how a lactate threshold calculator interprets step-test data to estimate LT1, LT2, and personalized training zones using the Dmax method and fixed thresholds.
Compare lactate curves between athletes using matched protocols, LT1 and LT2 methods, watts and W/kg. Learn what curve shape and VLamax cannot prove.
