A blood lactate threshold test will determine the heart rate at which the athlete’s blood lactate markedly accumulates. By knowing the heart rate at which their blood lactate threshold occurs, the athlete can either train slightly below, at, or slightly above their blood lactate threshold depending on the intensity of their workout. The blood lactate threshold, like VO2 max and heart rate, is another value the athlete can use to determine their fitness level and develop training programs.
Why should an athlete do a blood lactate threshold test?
