MLSS may better track aerobic training adaptations than CP; leaves open whether either threshold should guide clinical exercise prescriptions.
Are critical power and maximal lactate steady state equally sensitive to differences in aerobic training status?
Maximal lactate steady state is a more sensitive marker of aerobic endurance enhancement with training than critical power.
Greco et al. (2012) studied this question.
