UNDERSTAND YOUR THRESHOLDS & ENHANCE PERFORMANCE

BLOOD LACTATE THRESHOLD TESTING

Blood Lactate Threshold Testing is the most accurate method of determining your lactate training zones and your key threshold values. Using the Lactate Pro Plus Meter, along with our advanced analysis software, provides a data-driven and reliable report about your body's rate of lactate accumulation, providing crucial insights into your endurance capacity and training zones.

Your lactate thresholds (LT1 & LT2) are important indicators of endurance and anaerobic performance, vital in sports such as running, triathlons, football, AFL, cycling, swimming and rowing. Blood Lactate Threshold testing at GymTherapy uses highly specialised equipment and software to not only provide you with your thresholds, however additional data such as FatMax, Carbohydrate vs Fat utilisation, lactate recovery, VLaMax & VO2 Max, giving you the tools to plan your nutrition, predict race paces and achieve your performance goals.

Key Terms You Will Learn

You will learn about several aspects of your cardiovascular fitness & performance, including:

  • VO2 Max: Is a measure of the body's capacity to maximally uptake oxygen from the environment and use it in skeletal muscle during intense full-body exercise (maximal oxygen consumption). It is considered the gold-standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness
    ‍
  • Training Zones: Training zones are calculated based on the relationship between your VO2 Max, heart rate, and mechanical output (power/pace). By completing VO2 Max testing, it allows for accurate prescription of these training zones, optimising training and performance.
    ‍
  • Lactate Threshold (LT2): The level above which pyruvate—an intermediate product of anaerobic metabolism—is produced faster than it can be used aerobically; unused pyruvate splits into lactate (lactic acid) and positively charged hydrogen ions; continued exercise above the lactate, or anaerobic, threshold results in accumulation of these ions—acidosis—causing exhaustion and intramuscular pain.
    ‍
  • Aerobic Threshold (LT1): The first lactate threshold, also known as LT1 or the aerobic threshold is used to demarcate zone 1 and 2. LT1 is defined as the lowest intensity at which there is a sustained increase in blood lactate concentration above resting values.
    ‍
  • Oxygen Carrying Capacity of the Blood: The amount of oxygen that can be transported to the muscle, important for VO2 Max.
    ‍
  • Skeletal Muscle Oxygen Extraction: Describes the muscle's ability to uptake and utilise oxygen for function.
    ‍
  • Ventilatory Thresholds: Describes the relationship between physical exertion and ventilation. During VO2 Max testing, two key ventilatory thresholds (VT1 & VT2) are identified, which allows for specific training recommendations that improve these values moving forward.
