By the numbers, subtract 30 beats per minute from your lactate threshold heart rate, and that’ll give you a rough estimate of your aerobic threshold. But beyond the data, it’s the feeling at which the intensity of your workout and effort is just slightly above resting level. A more sp...
Lactate thresholdis the exercise intensity at which the blood concentration of lactate and/or lactic acid starts to rapidly increase, due to increased conversion of glycogen and glucose into ATP for energy. A higher lactate threshold allows for a higher running speed to be sustained without the ac...

When you pass your lactate threshold, your body creates more lactate in your blood than it can remove, causing that running-through-mud feeling of exhaustion. The pace it takes to run right at your anaerobic threshold is tempo pace.
Interval workouts can help runners build fitness, lose fat, improve their pace and can provide other benefits.
Increasing both aerobic and anaerobic capacities, in addition to increasinglactate threshold, training of this form is particularly beneficial due to its flexibility. Mostly used to condition runners, fartlek training programs can also be adapted for those in team sports such asrugby, football, and ...
Although peak Vo2 describes the net limitation in exercise capacity, an even more comprehensive idea of aerobic efficiency is obtained by measuring the Vo2 at the first ventilatory threshold (VT). Vo2 at first VT reflects the metabolic condition above which blood lactate and pH start to increase...
COVID-19 is well known for breathing problems, but other health complications also contribute towards the death from COVID-19. It is often a combination of these health problems that cause the body to fail and ultimately result in death. ...
What is hrTSS? More appropriate for those not training with power, the Heart Rate Training Stress Score (hrTSS) is based on time in heart rate training zones derived from an athlete’s lactate threshold heart rate. The calculation is made using an estimate of the amount of accumulated TSS ...
For more than 30 years, exercise physiologists have known that the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in a person’s blood, lactate threshold (LT), is a powerful predictor of their endurance performance ability. This is because although an individual’s cardiovascular fitness ...
