Bolld lactate concentrations during exercise: effect of sampling site and exercise mode

摘要

Conclusions: We conclude that lactate values may differ depend- ing on the sampling site and the type of exercise mode. An ear capillary sample may be preferred because it is less affected by lactate release in the arms and easier to obtain. Background. The purpose of the study was to compare blood lac- Tate concentrations determined in blood sampled from three Sites (finger capillary, ear-lobe capillary, and forearm vein) During exercise on three different ergometers (a cycle ergom- Eter, a treadmill and an arm-crank ergometer).
