High lactate values often occur after maximal intensity efforts associated with sporting competition. The ability of the body to metabolise or clear this lactate between heats or events may distinguish between performers.
Recovery blood lactate profiles monitor blood lactate response to competition and then the disappearance and return to normal of these values. This enables athletes to determine what type of cool down they should complete and how long the cool down should last. To optimise future performance, this ensures that athletes cool down for long enough but don’t waste time cooling down for longer than is required. The profile can also test different types of cool down at a warm up competition so that the optimum cool down is determined well in advance of the most important competitions.
The results show that the active rowing cool down was much more effective than the passive cool down at returning blood lactate values back to resting levels.
Recovery blood lactate assessment can determine the optimum blood lactate following a cool down or warm up for a heat/event.
