Ventilatory Thresholds vs. Lactate Thresholds: Are They Competitors or Complementary Metrics?

by Renee LeathermanEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

Ventilatory Threshold and Lactate: Complementary Metrics for Smarter Training In the world of endurance training, metrics reign supreme. From heart rate to power output, athletes rely on data to refine their training strategies and achieve peak performance. Among these metrics, ventilatory threshold (VT) and blood lactate levels stand out as two of the most insightful …

Estimate Your Maximal Lactate Steady State Using Ventilatory Thresholds

by Consuelo SotoEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

Understanding the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is crucial for endurance athletes, as it signifies the highest intensity one can sustain without causing significant intramuscular or blood pH imbalances. Essentially, MLSS is a key indicator for gauging endurance performance, reflecting the ability to maintain a high aerobic rate during prolonged exercise. Breakthrough Study: Ventilatory Thresholds …
