This course seeks to do a brief review of Lactate (La-) metabolism and its practical application as a useful tool for physiological assessment and exercise prescription/training from athletes to patients in cardiac rehabilitation. Considering that La- is a glycolytic main product and that the dynamic process of La- production-removal-oxidation could be expressed by specific exercise workloads, measuring blood La- can be a powerful assessment tool. It is a simple and useful procedure that provides valuable biomarker data to athletes and patients to improve their aerobic performance.
