LACTATE THRESHOLD (LT)

Your lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in your blood. This can be measured through finger or ear pricks during a progressive exercise bout. Similar to the anaerobic threshold, this ramping protocol can help tailor your training intensities and pace to your exact physiological responses, thereby optimizing physiological gain during your training. This testing can take place on a bike or treadmill, expanding the benefits to runners, cyclists, and other athletes.
