Why Lactate Testing?
- Lactate is a fuel source in the body.
- Efficient use of lactate correlates with better performance.
- Lactate testing monitors lactate levels in the blood.
- Higher lactate levels are associated with less sustainable efforts.
- Trend lines from samples illustrate changes in effort during the test.
- Analysis of these trends helps identify training zones.
