If you would like to learn more about the benefits of Lactate testing and how to use lactate testing to get better performance results with training. Go to www.rhinofitness.ca which is the site of Cris Labossiere of Rhino Fitness and a member of the Woodcock Cycle Team and our personal trainer.
Lactate measurement is used by sport scientists, coaches and athletes to accurately determine Heart Rate training zones, recovery and much more. Lactate is a metabolic product that can be measured by taking a drop of blood at a finger tip the same way diabetics monitor their blood sugar level. The blood lactate level increases with exercise intensity and shows clearly the transition from aerobic to anaerobic activity. Since the measurement is completely individual it gives a precise method for testing and monitoring training intensity and recovery. Lactate measurement is far more precise than the outdated and inaccurate method of using percentages of maximum heart rate to set training zones. Because heart rate is an individual response, heart rate training zones need to be determined by measurement of physiological variables not set by mathematical formulas. Furthermore, the relationship between exercise intensity and heart rate is different for different exercises, eg. heart rates for running will not be the same as heart rates for cycling for any given intensity. Training programs should not be based on general heart rate guidelines rather they should be based on individual responses. This can be achieved through lactate testing. How much guesswork are you willing to involve in your training and how much time have you got to waste? Do you want to make sure that what you do works optimally for you? Do you want to make the most of the time that you have available? Now you can optimize and take the guesswork out of your training by using the Lactate Pro. The Lactate Pro is the meter of choice (world wide) of elite teams and sport scientists both for monitoring athlete training and for sport research. In North America it is used heavily by the USA and Canadian National Ski and Swim teams and has been featured in "Runner's World Magazine", "Triathlete Magazine" and on "The Lance Chronicles". The Lactate Pro is fully approved by the FDA and is the only lactate test system that is classified as a Waived test by CLIA.
