Lactate is now understood as a central regulator of energy metabolism (1).
It links glycolysis (anaerobic metabolism) to aerobic metabolism, influences substrate utilization, and allows the quantification of maximal glycolytic power (VLamax).
In other words, lactate testing can provide far more insight than it typically does today.
Conventional incremental exercise testing using lactate—most likely the type of test you already perform—can be used to derive:
VLamax – maximal glycolytic power
VO₂max – because lactate concentration is causally linked to it
Fat and carbohydrate oxidation rates, including MFO and FatMax
Training zones based on VO₂max, fat oxidation rates, and metabolic demands
Fueling strategies for training and racing
In this webinar, you will learn how and why conventional lactate testing can deliver all of this information.
Imagine turning your current lactate testing—with no additional equipment, time, or effort—into a full metabolic analysis.
