Flashcards

Lactate Threshold

The point during exercise at which lactate builds up in the blood faster than it can be removed.

Practical Use: Lactate Threshold

Predicting performance (like a 10K run), planning training, tracking training intensity, and selecting training heart rate.

Endurance Performance Prediction

Using lactate threshold to estimate how well someone will do in endurance events (like a 10K run).

Training Program Planning

Using lactate threshold data to create effective exercise plans that enhance endurance performance.

Study Notes

Mitochondrial Hydrogen Shuttle System and Lactate Production

  • Figure 4.9 illustrates the mitochondrial hydrogen shuttle system.

Practical Uses of Lactate Threshold

  • Lactate threshold prediction can be used to predict endurance performance (e.g., 10K).
  • It's combined with running economy.
  • Lactate threshold helps in planning training programs.
  • It serves as a marker of training intensity.
  • Training heart rate can be selected based on the lactate threshold.
  • Training near (but slightly below) the lactate threshold is effective in shifting the lactate threshold to a higher intensity.
