Blood lactate threshold testing is a valid and reliable alternative to ventilatory threshold testing for identifying metabolic transitions in well-trained cyclists.

Abstract

Lactate threshold tests can be a valid and reliable alternative to ventilatory thresholds to identify the workloads at the transition from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism.
