Aerobic exercise induced adaptations are crucial both for competitive performance and receiving health benefits from exercise. Lactate is an important signaling molecule for exercise adaptations and this molecule is mostly generated during High intensity interval training and sprints. In endurance running it’s dangerous to perform such lactate producing training sessions too often on a long term base due to overtraining and injury risks. On the other hand, lactate generated from upper body sprint interval training immediately before endurance running may enhance aerobic training adaptations without such risks. In this research proposal the possibility and design of such a study will be discussed. In case of success, this research may impact the design of competitive as well as health optimizing aerobic training.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
