Lactate
Threshold Testing is an excellent opportunity to measure your
lactate threshold and lactate threshold heart rate (LTHR). Most
often this would be recommended for an advanced athlete as they
begin to transition into a more strenous period or training.
Testing
can be completed for most sports to develop training zones of
either pace, heart rate, or wattage.
Testing
Protocol
All tests are conducted utilizing an Accusport Blood Lacate Analyzer.
The athlete will be required to complete 3-5 stages of increasing
effort that will take the athlete above their lactate threshold.
Following each stage a small blood sample will be taken, via fingertip
prick, and analyzed. Measurements for heart rate, blood lactate,
and percieved exertion will be recorded. Cycling tests will include
prescriptions for power based training. Following each test we
will interpret the results for you and prescribe a Lactate Threshold
Heart Rate (LTHR) for you to use in developing training zones.
