Fitness Test: Lactate Threshold Test

Duration: 1 Hour

An LT test is the most accurate method used to define an athlete's lactate threshold. An LT test records the buildup of lactate levels in the blood. This buildup occurs over a period of timed incremental increases in effort.

The test is performed on a stationary bike. After warm-up, the participant maintains a consistent pedaling cadence as resistance is gradually increased. The proctor measures speed, cadence, power, heart rate, and increases in blood lactate levels. Blood is drawn by finger pricking. A printout of the test results in included.
