From triathlonnews.com we move to the center of our collaborator Healting, where we wanted to know in detail this specific test for the triathlete where a data as relevant to the competition as the race pace that we have to maintain after the transition to conclude with guarantees of success the competition.
It is a test that is performed to know lactate concentration in blood at different intensities of effort.
With these data, a graph is drawn with the lactate curve that gives us the necessary information to know where the transition from our aerobic to anaerobic threshold is, which will show it in the graph of the lactate curve.
Usually by bike or on a treadmill
The process is very simple, simply picking up a drop of blood from the finger during the different intensities of effort.
This test is indicated to know the rhythms to which we must run once we get off the bike to start the race on foot and that guarantees us that we have a correct rhythm to be able to perform in the most optimal way in this last segment of the competition.
It is essential to know the data of the transition of our aerobic-anaerobic body.
If the lactate does not increase in blood, the development of the exercise is essentially aerobic, and that exercise can develop for a long time without fatigue.
If we have taken the lactation test, we will be able to know at what speed our lactate concentration increases and we begin to enter the anaerobic threshold, being aware that this intensity will cause fatigue in a short time.
This moment of transition is called lactic threshold and it will help us to be able to define the rhythms of competition to guarantee having the optimum performance while enjoying the competition while achieving a good result.
