Effects Of Caffeine On Blood Lactate During Submaximal Exercise In Women
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016)INTRODUCTION: Blood Lactate is the buildup of the byproduct lactic acid (LA) in the blood. LA is present at rest, but is increased during exercise. The rate of clearance of LA is an indication of fitness levels. Research ... -
THE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ON BLOOD LACTATE LEVELS DURING SUBMAXIMAL EXERCISE
(Department of Kinesiology, the University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, the University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, the University of Texas at Arlington, Fall, 2013)INTRODUCTION: Blood lactate concentration reflects the balance between lactate production and clearance. It is considered a marker of exercise intensity and muscle glycolysis. It is expressed in mmol/L of lactate found in ... -
