    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.
