Lactate Threshold Test
Elevate your training and racing with our Lactate Threshold testing. This assessment identifies the precise intensity level at which lactate begins to accumulate in your blood faster than your body can clear it.
Why it Matters: The lactate threshold is a critical marker of endurance performance. Training at, below, and above this threshold is key to pushing your limits and improving sustained speed.
What You Get: A comprehensive report that pinpoints your lactate threshold heart rate and power zones. We use this data to help you create a highly specific training plan, allowing you to fine-tune your workouts for maximum effectiveness and build fatigue resistance
FAQs
-
The test involves a progressive exercise protocol, on a stationary bike or treadmill, with small blood samples taken periodically to measure lactate levels.
-
No, VO2 Max is the ceiling of your aerobic capacity, while your lactate threshold is the highest intensity you can sustain for a prolonged period. They are two distinct, yet complementary, metrics.
-
The test length is similar to a VO2 Max test, between 60-90 minutes
-
The test provides you with precise training zones, helping you train at the exact intensity needed to improve your endurance and fatigue resistance.
