If you don’t know too much about the lactate threshold, click here for a previous article […]
How to Conduct Your Own Lactate Threshold Tests
Lactic Acid Threshold (LT) is the highest highest intensity at which the body can recycle lactic acid as quickly as it is produced. Anaerobic metabolism, or the burning of sugar by the process of glycolysis, is slow enough that lactic acid, the substance that makes muscles burn during hard exercise, does not accumulate faster than […]
