THE SCIENCE BEHIND LACTATE TESTING
Lactate is constantly produced by the body. At rest and in light exercise, the level of lactate produced is small enough that it is buffered or oxidized. As intensity increases, lactate production increases and reaches levels that are reflective of a loss of aerobic efficiency.
In general, low levels of lactate are the sign of an efficient aerobic "fat-burning" system. High Lactate levels at easy workloads are a sign of an underdeveloped aerobic system. Over time, with correct aerobic training, lactate levels at a given workload will decrease showing an improvement in aerobic conditioning. In terms of endurance, improving the speed at which you can operate before blood lactate levels rise will improve your performance. High Lactate levels at maximal workloads are a sign of a well-developed anaerobic "power" system.
For each athlete and sport there is an optimal “Balance” of aerobic and anaerobic qualities. Testing unveils the balance of your personal “Metabolic Fitness” and from there your training can be shaped and guided so that you reach your true potential in your chosen sport.
