Discussion

Assessment of lactate accumulation and subjective fatigue in running versus cycling, suggesting exercise-specific prescription methods.

Cycling induced significantly higher lactate production compared to running, irrespective of exercise intensity or type.
Higher Lactate Production Efficiency during cycling indicated enhanced lactate stress relative to perceived fatigue units.
Males exhibited increased lactate accumulation during running compared to females, highlighting metabolic differences.
Implementing RPE-based strategies can optimize exercise prescription and enhance personalized interventions in sports medicine.

Zhang et al. (2025) studied this question.
