The most important terms around lactate testing, thresholds and endurance training, explained clearly for athletes and coaches.
The exercise intensity where lactate starts to accumulate measurably in the blood. A key performance marker for endurance athletes.
LT1 (aerobic threshold, about 2 mmol/L) and LT2 (anaerobic threshold, about 4 mmol/L), the two key thresholds for zones and pacing.
Maximal lactate production rate (mmol/L/s). It describes glycolytic capacity and matters for long-distance versus sprint performance.
A standardized incremental protocol for determining lactate thresholds. A practical standard for cycling and running diagnostics.
Maximal lactate steady state: the highest intensity where lactate remains stable for about 20 minutes. Closely related to LT2.
With LactateThreshold you calculate lactate threshold, LT1, LT2 and VLamax directly from your step-test data, free and without a lab.
