What is lactate threshold testing?
Lactate threshold is one of the most important physiological markers for training and success in endurance sports. By measuring the lactate levels in blood samples taken during a ramping cycling test performed on Velotron load bike we can determine your maximum sustainable performance capacity. The data collected during the test (lactate, heart rate, and power) will be used to establish your lactate threshold, as well as specific heart rate and power training intensities to help you improve your sport-specific performance. After your initial test, this performance information can be used to tailor a program for you, based on the results you achieved, making for an extremely specific and efficient training program to maximize your available training time.
