Four non-invasive indices for determining anaerobic threshold significantly correlated with the invasive blood lactate method, with the Conconi threshold being the most adequate.

Do non-invasive indices accurately estimate the anaerobic threshold compared to invasive blood lactate measurements in adult male rowers?
Non-invasive indices, particularly the Conconi threshold based on heart rate deflection, are comparable to invasive blood lactate measurements for estimating anaerobic threshold in elite rowers.
Erdoğan et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Elite rowers (n=22). Non-invasive indices (respiratory gases and heart rate deflection point) vs. Invasive index (blood lactate concentrations) was evaluated on Anaerobic threshold (AT) estimation. Four non-invasive indices for determining anaerobic threshold significantly correlated with the invasive blood lactate method, with the Conconi threshold being the most adequate.
