Generation

# Lactate Threshold **Definition:** The lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which blood lactate begins to accumulate above resting levels, typically occurring at approximately 50-60% of VO₂ max in untrained individuals and 70-80% in trained athletes (around 2-4 mmol/L blood lactate concentration). **Why it matters:** This threshold represents the highest sustainable exercise intensity before fatigue accelerates, making it a critical predictor of endurance performance—often more important than VO₂ max alone. Training at or near this threshold improves the body's ability to clear lactate and use it as fuel, allowing athletes to maintain higher speeds for longer durations.
