Structured PICO

Population

8 well-trained swimmers, mean age 18.6 +/- 1.9 years

Intervention

Determination of critical swimming speed (CSS) via four tests to exhaustion (95, 100, 105, and 110 % of maximal aerobic speed)

Comparator

Direct determination of speed at maximal lactate steady state (S(MLSS)) via four sub-maximal 30-min constant intensity tests (75 % to 90 % MAS)

Outcome

Comparison between CSS and S(MLSS)surrogate

In swimming, critical swimming speed overestimates the maximal speed that can be maintained without a continuous rise in blood lactate, requiring direct determination of S(MLSS) for precision.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports caution against equating CSS with MLSS for swimmer training zones; leaves open need for direct validation in performance trials.
