Lactate in energy metabolism and its use in performance diagnostics and training control

This book is dedicated to the topic of lactate in its various facets. In addition to a historical outline, it describes the energy metabolism of the muscle and an energy metabolism model that can be used to explain most lactate-related phenomena. Common lactate analysis methods and lactate threshold concepts are presented and critically discussed as well as the numerous influencing factors on the lactate performance curve (e.g. test protocol, previous loads, environmental conditions). In addition, the use of lactate in performance diagnostics and training control – with a special focus on the sport of rowing – is discussed in detail.

The book is aimed at sports physicians and other doctors who carry out performance diagnostic tests, as well as sports scientists, trainers and competitive and recreational athletes interested in the topic.
