About the Webinar:
Do you perform lactate testing or are considering starting?
However conventional testing protocol feel outdated, or your methods for interpreting and evaluating lactate profiles seem fuzzy at best? You’re not wrong.
BUT: Science has moved on! There’s now much more knowledge about lactate and how to use it in performance assessment. It’s time to unf…ck conventional lactate testing—minimizing your testing effort while maximizing your results.
Agenda:
- Evaluation Methods: Ensure your chosen method matches your testing protocol (step size, duration).
- Testing Protocols: Understand how sport type, step duration, and step size influence lactate profiles.
- Blind Spots: Discover often-overlooked factors—gender, body composition, and lactate meter accuracy.
- Lactate Clearance vs. Production: Decipher what actually determines lactate concentration.
- Left Shift vs. Right Shift: Understand what changes in the lactate profile curve truly mean.
- Lactate Testing on Steroids: Learn why lactate testing can also reveal VO2max, fat combustion rates, and many more key performance indicators.
