What Is Lactate Threshold ?

Lactate Threshold (LT) is the point during increasing-intensity exercise when lactic acid starts to accumulate in the blood faster than the body can remove it. This marks the transition from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism.

Understanding your lactate threshold helps you:

Train at the right intensity for endurance gains
Improve aerobic efficiency and fat utilization
Delay fatigue and increase time to exhaustion
Optimize your heart rate and pace zones
Prevent overtraining and improve recovery

Q3: Do I need to be an elite athlete to take this test?
Not at all. It’s valuable for any fitness level, especially if you want to train smarter and avoid overtraining.

Q4: How should I prepare for the test?

Stay hydrated
Wear athletic clothing and bring your running shoes or cycling gear

Q5: How long does the test take?
The entire session, including consultation and warm-up, takes about 60–90 minutes.
