The mission behind LactateThreshold

Sport science for everyone โ€” no lab, no sport scientist, no spreadsheet.

Why LactateThreshold?

LactateThreshold started with a simple question: why should professional lactate test analysis cost 150โ€“300 EUR in a lab when the underlying algorithms are published sport science? Methods by Mader, Dickhuth, Dmax and others are peer-reviewed and established for decades. They do not need to stay hidden behind a lab. LactateThreshold makes these algorithms accessible to everyone: free, transparent and usable without technical background.

Our principles

Scientific

All 7 methods are peer-reviewed and validated in sport science. No black box, no proprietary algorithm.

Transparent

The calculations are traceable. You see which method produced which result and why.

Accessible

The base analysis is and remains free. Professional diagnostics should not depend on budget.

What we build

LactateThreshold is a web app that analyzes lactate curves from step tests scientifically. You enter your measurements โ€” power or pace, lactate value and optionally heart rate โ€” and immediately receive LT1, LT2, training zones, VLamax estimate and race-pace predictions using 7 validated methods.

For coaches, there is a coach view with athlete management, test comparisons over time and export features. Everything runs in the browser โ€” no installation required. When optional AI analysis is used, the required test data is sent to the AI provider.

Who is behind this

KH

Kristian Hoffmann

Founder & Developer

LactateThreshold is built by Kristian Hoffmann โ€” out of first-hand experience in endurance sport and the conviction that valid performance diagnostics should not stay locked behind lab prices. Every analysis method is backed by peer-reviewed literature and transparently documented โ€” no black box, no made-up algorithms.
