Dependence of the maximal lactate steady state on the motor pattern of exercise

摘要

Background—Blood lactate concentration (BLC) can be used to monitor relative exercise intensity. The highest BLC representing an equilibrium between lactate production and elimination is termed maximal lactate steady state (MLSS). MLSS is used to discriminate qualitatively between continuous exercise, which is limited by stored energy, from other types of exercise terminated because of disturbance of cellular homoeostasis.
