For a long time, muscular fatigue during exercise was believed to be caused primarily by lactate as a by-product of glycolysis (glucose metabolism). In early studies, lactate was shown to increase in ...

One of the best measures of running fitness is lactate threshold (LT), which is the running speed or heart rate at which lactate — an intermediate product of aerobic metabolism in the muscles — begins ...
