Lactate Threshold Test (LT)
The Lactate Threshold Test (LT) is a physiological assessment that measures the point at which lactate, a byproduct of muscle metabolism, begins to accumulate in the bloodstream at an excessive rate. The lactate threshold is determined as the intensity level (speed, heart rate, or power) at which lactate accumulation significantly increases. This information can be used to establish training zones that target the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. This information may also be used to optimize planning for changes to body composition, weight, and general health.
This rigorous test requires at least 90 minutes to perform the required warm up, ramp test, and cool down. The test may be performed on your own bicycle, a treadmill, rowing machine, ski machine, or wind bike.
