Abstract
Lactate increase during exercise takes place above a certain metabolic rate varying with fitness and disease (Wasserman, 1994). The metabolic rate (Vo2) above which lactate starts to increase is thought to be that at which energy (ATP) from anaerobic glycolysis supplements the energy generated from aerobic metabolism. The onset of the anaerobic production of ATP should therefore also be the onset of net lactate production by working muscle during exercise.
