Blood lactate profile report

Trained -v- Untrained
The purpose of this test was to determine individuals, (trained and untrained) lactate threshold and subsequently interpret the results. This will allow for a comparison in how training affects the accumulation of blood lactate by using the results from the trained versus the untrained individual.

When the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of uptake, lactic acid accumulates in the blood volume, and then we see the onset of blood lactate accumulation. This is what known as the traditional "Lactate Threshold" (LT)(1). This occurs when during exercise of an increasing intensity the lactate levels rise above that of resting levels.

When glucose is broken down it forms pyruvate. This pyruvate then gets converted to lactic acid via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. Lactate is formed from both aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis, however lactate does not so much accumulate in aerobic conditions as they body has the ability......
