Lactate Testing
at the Physiotherapy Room
Holmfirth
Our friends from the Accelerate Performance Centre in Sheffield are coming to the Physiotherapy Room Holmfirth for one day only to run lactate testing for our local athletes.
This is a rescheduled day due to a European shortage of lactate testing strips. Those already booked will have priority choice of appointments.
What is Lactate testing
The process involves you running on a treadmill, starting at a comfortable pace. Pace is gradually increased and periodically small blood samples are taken to measure the amount of lactate you are producing. This information if correlated with heart rate and speed measurements to determine your:
● Heart rate training zones
● Aerobic Threshold (LT1)
● Anaerobic Threshold (LT2)
You will also be given time to discuss what the different training zones mean and how you should be using them through your training plan.
Essentially, It is a straightforward way of ensuring you know and understand the right heart rate numbers for you and when you should be using them.
