Key result
Cycle ergometer exercise in healthy men demonstrated a strong correlation between the start of lactate increase and excess-CO2 (r=0.914; P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does cumulative excess-CO2 accurately predict blood lactate concentrations during graded exercise in healthy men?

Excess-CO2 onset correlates with lactate threshold but not peak values; leaves open its surrogate utility in exercise testing.

Does cumulative excess-CO2 accurately predict blood lactate concentrations during graded exercise in healthy men?
Effect estimate: r=0.914
p-value: p=<0.001
While the onset of lactate increase and excess-CO2 correlate well during exercise, cumulative excess-CO2 cannot reliably predict maximum absolute blood lactate concentrations.
Röecker et al. (2000) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=21). Cycle ergometer exercise was evaluated on Correlation between the start of lactate increase (LT) and excess-CO2 (VT) (r=0.914, p=<0.001). Cycle ergometer exercise in healthy men demonstrated a strong correlation between the start of lactate increase and excess-CO2 (r=0.914; P<0.001).
