A higher lactate threshold may be beneficial during endurance sports, research suggests.
During intense or prolonged exercise, muscles can feel like they’re burning the longer and harder someone pushes.
What is lactate?Lactate is the electrically charged form of lactic acid produced by muscle cells and other tissues during anaerobic activity — or activity that uses energy produced without oxygen. During fast sprints, weight lifting and more explosive exercise, the body turns to anaerobic energy production to metabolise glucose and produce ATP. The by-product of this process is lactic acid which can build up faster than the liver can break it down. This can cause weak muscles, shaking and nausea.
A higher lactate threshold means a person can exercise for longer at more intense levels and their body is more efficient at clearing the lactic acid. Lactate threshold training is also an effective way to predict race performance, according to a 2018 study of male cyclists in the same journal .
