Why the study?
The relevance of the lactate threshold and maximal lactate steady state workload to individual swimming performance was not well understood.
Does the maximal lactate steady state workload determine individual swimming performance?
Does the maximal lactate steady state workload determine individual swimming performance?
The maximal lactate steady state workload determined by an individual lactate threshold test reflects endurance capacity and can be used to adjust training intensity in swimmers.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Swimmers' variable performance above MLSS warrants individualized pacing caution; leaves open MLSS as a performance determinant pending prospective trials.
