Relationship between the anaerobic threshold identified through blood lactate between the discontinuous and resisted dynamic exercises in long distance runners

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between the anaerobic threshold (AT) identified through blood lactate concentrations [Lac] between incremental protocols performed on the treadmill (TE) and the leg press 45° (LP 45°). Twelve male runners were randomized to perform two incremental protocols on TE and LP 45°. The results did not show significant differences in [Lac] between both protocols, and there was agreement between them. Despite the findings between both protocols, further studies are still needed to confirm the results.
