Dude you are the best. Thank you so much for posting these videos. You have truly been a blessing to making the book a bit more digestible as one with dyslexia and has a hard time reading for pro longed periods of time. You are truly a God send. So thank you for taking the time to do this. It means a lot.

Its crazy how many misconceptions there are regarding lactate. For most of my life before college I always thought of lactate as soemthing negative, that its build up resulted in fatigue. Glad im learning correctly now that it can be turned into a fuel source.

I really liked learning about the lactate threshold and how it is important it is to have a higher lactate threshold because it reflects the maximum oxygen uptake.

I find the LT graph interesting and it makes sense, because with the increase in HR would also mean an increase in VO2, which more lactate would build up. I learned a lot of about the lactate regulation with the enzymes PDH and LDH controlling what can be used back in the energy systems or what will be built up. Thank you!

Its interesting to me the advantages that athletes have, for example the track athletes who are able to tolerate their lactate levels and can maintain a low lactate level while also being able to tolerate a high lactate threshold is crazy to me. When I think about training for events like that I think about sprints and weights and that kind of training, not training lactate levels to gain a competitive edge!

If basically remembered everything you said in all your videos that would be sufficient to pass the exam? Thanks so much for the great content.

@uMsubathi 3 жыл бұрын

This pure good information

@philosopher4393 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Doc. Does the lactate threshold follow a concept similar to progressive overload where you might have to train slightly above it to improve your tolerance of lactate? Like how we have to stress our muscles beyond what they are used to in order for them to grow.

@keeganreynolds1959 2 жыл бұрын

Usually athletes increase the volume of work at lactate threshold, or use longer repetitions, to progressively overload LT. Additionally athletes will increase the pace of their repetitions or tempos as their lactate threshold improves to match where their current ability is. An example of a progression for a distance runner might be something like: Session 1: 5x5min @LT effort w/60 seconds rest Session 2: 6x5min @LT effort w/60 seconds rest Session 3: 3x10min @LT effort w/60 seconds rest Training above your lactate threshold will still give you benefits and increase your threshold, as your body is still utilizing that energy system at a faster pace. However the adaption won't be as strong towards your lactate threshold, and you will have an increased recovery time because of the higher intensity. I realize this is an old comment but I hope it helps nonetheless!

@keonihughes4242 2 жыл бұрын

Great to see how beneficial training near the lactate threshold is for endurance athletes. Would this be beneficial for strength and power athletes as well?

Not so much. Strength athletes compete in durations lasting much less than the time it takes to accumulate enough lactate to accrue hydrogen ions. Related athletes such as crossfitters or long sprinters could potentially benefit!

So where on earth did that one rumour originate about lactic acid being the cause behind muscle soreness? Why did the whole world end up believing it if it was not the cause of muscle soreness the whole time?

@DrJacobGoodin 3 жыл бұрын

Beats me! But my best guess is that the "burn" you feel during lactate build-up is similar to the "toastiness" of your muscles when experiencing DOMS.

@bojak76 4 жыл бұрын

If an athlete is producing too much lactate for the liver to be able to convert to glucose, where does the lactate enter the bloodstream from? does it enter straight from the liver or will it enter the muscles still, and then enter the blood?

@DrJacobGoodin 3 жыл бұрын

It just stays in the muscle cell or in the blood stream, waiting to be cleared. If levels get too high, not only does that little voice in your head scream at you to stop, but eventually some sort of central governor (depending on who you ask) limits output to the muscles, causing you to slow, so that the Cori cycle can work on clearing the buildup.

@austiniturbe4495 3 жыл бұрын

Do you train right under your lactate threshold each practice session or does it vary?

@DrJacobGoodin 3 жыл бұрын

It definitely varies. For distance runners and middle distance runners, there are specific training sessions that focus on lactate threshold training, but a host of other running paces and interval combinations that still help enhance it to some extent, while their primary focus might be other aspects like aerobic endurance or VO2max.

I'm hopping on the bandwagon, how is an athlete supposed to know their lactate threshold? The only logical reasoning is through multiple tests, no?

@DrJacobGoodin 3 жыл бұрын

So you can measure it directly like I was saying to Abner, or you can gauge it through a few different attempts. Lactate threshold _typically_ corresponds with between 70-80% of max heart rate. So if you calculate max heart rate, then throw on a heart rate monitor and keep HR in that zone, you'll be in the right ballpark. You know you're going too fast if you cannot maintain the pace for 15-20 minutes, or up to about 30 minutes for more well-trained individuals. You should feel fairly uncomfortable the entire time and like you can only get out 1-2 word sentences
