Description

If you do not wish to undertake a maximal test (or are unable to do so), but still wish to gain insight into your endurance exercise capabilities the Lactate Threshold Test is the test for you. This submaximal test will give us an insight into how your body reacts to submaximal increases in exercise intensity.

The visit will last approximately 1 hour of which you will be exercising for ~30 minutes.

The test can be conducted on a treadmill or a bicycle.

 

Detailed Description

To establish your lactate threshold, you will complete a submaximal test in which the exercise intensity starts very light and increases every 3 minutes. You will be required to wear a face mask (for the analysis of your inspired and expired air) and heart rate monitor (provided) throughout this test. At the end of each 3 minute stage, a small blood sample will be taken from your fingertip and analysed*. Your lactate response dictates when the test ends, but it typically involves fewer than ten 3-minute stages. This stage will involve approximately 30 minutes of sub-maximal exercise.

 

* if you do not wish to have the blood samples taken, the test can be run with the collection of expired air only. We will be unable to measure your lactate threshold but will be able to provide an estimation of it.
