Lactate threshold Flashcards
(17 cards)
What is lactate threshold
The intensity of which blood lactate begins to rise
What is the purpose of lactic threshold test
Lactate threshold defines the upper limit of the sustainable efforts that can be used in training
Accumulation of blood lactate will hinder the muscles ability to contract
In most labs what is the resting baseline to be exceeded in order for it to be lactate threshold
2mmol/l-1
What is the baseline lactate threshold
Lower than 1 mmol/L
What does OBLA stand for
Onset of blood lactate accumulation
What is OBLA (onset of blood lactate accumulation)
The minimum work rate away to continue to rise rather than a fall this is At 4mmol/l
Does the lactate threshold test acquire a warmup
No but can be asked for by participant
What needs to be asked to the participant before completing the test
Have you done any strenuous exercise in the last 24 to 48 hours and what have you eaten today
How long are the stages
3 to 4 minutes
Why are the stages 3 to 4 minutes
To allow diffusion of lactate into the blood
When is the blood lactate level taken
At the end of the stage
What is usually the minimum amount of stages
5
What is MLSS. Stand for
Maximal lactate steady-state
What is MLSS
The highest blood lactate concentration that can be maintained without a continual rise in blood lactate levels
How can you improve your lactate threshold
Aerobic based training at an intensity of 70 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate
How should a good lactic curve look
Steady with a possible small rise at the end
If The curve shows quick incline what does this mean for the lactate threshold
Slower
