TI  - Validity of a single lactate measure to predict fixed lactate thresholds in 
      athletes.
PG  - 385-392
AB  - This study aimed to validate the use of a single blood lactate concentration 
      measure taken following a 12 km h(-1) running stage (BLC(12)) to predict and 
      monitor fixed blood lactate concentration (FBLC) thresholds. Three complementary 
      studies were undertaken. Study I: the relationships between BLC(12) and the 
      running speeds at FBLC of 3 mmol L(-1) (S3mM) and 4 mmol L(-1) (S4mM) measured 
      during a multistage running field test were examined in 136 elite athletes. Study 
      II: data from 30 athletes tested one year apart were used to test the predictive 
      capacity of the equations obtained in Study I. Study III: 80 athletes were tested 
      before and after an intensified training period to examine whether 
      training-induced changes in FBLC thresholds could be predicted and monitored by 
      BLC(12). Study I: BLC(12) was significantly (P < 0.001) and inversely related to 
      S3mM (R(2) = 0.89) and S4mM (R(2) = 0.95). Study II: prediction models yielded 
      robust correlations between the estimated and measured FBLC thresholds 
      (r = 0.94-0.99; P < 0.001). Study III: estimated changes predicted actual 
      training-induced changes in FBLC thresholds (r = 0.81-0.91; P < 0.001). This 
      study gives empirical support to use a single lactate measure during a 
      sub-maximal running field test as a simple, low-cost and practical alternative to 
      FBLC thresholds in athletes.
