Lactate test example analysis: table, curve, LT1 and LT2

Name: LactateThreshold - lactate test analysis
Availability: InStock
Author: LactateThreshold

An example analysis shows faster than any definition what happens to your measurements: table, lactate curve, thresholds and usable training ranges.

Input data

A typical cycling step test contains 6 to 9 stages. For each stage you need power, lactate and optionally heart rate.

Stages 1-2: low lactate values and a stable aerobic range
Stages 3-4: first relevant rise, often close to LT1
Stages 5-6: steeper rise, threshold range and LT2

Interpretation

The analysis should not focus only on the highest value. The important signal is the curve shape and where the slope changes.

LT1 helps define Zone 2 precisely
LT2 guides threshold training and pacing
Method comparison shows how stable the threshold estimate is

Why you can trust the analysis

LactateThreshold does not turn measurements into false precision. The app shows the curve, method comparison, plausible thresholds and the limits of your test protocol transparently.

Read methodology Disclaimer

Method comparison instead of a single black-box value

Clear separation of LT1, LT2, VLamax and training zones

Limits of self-testing are stated openly

Training guidance, not a medical diagnosis

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter my own example values?

Yes. In the demo you can enter your own values or start from example data.

Why do LT2 methods differ?

Each method makes different assumptions about curve shape. The spread between methods is an important quality signal.
