Métodos alternativos para estimar a velocidade da máxima fase estável de lactato em adultos jovens fisicamente ativos

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the velocities found in the protocols used to measure the indirect individual anaerobic threshold (IAT ind ), glucose threshold (GT) and critical velocity (CV) with the gold standard, the maximum lactate steady state (MLSS) protocol. Fourteen physically active young adults (23±3.1 years; 72±10.97 kg; 176±7 cm; 21±5.36% body fat) performed a 3000-m track running test to determine IAT ind using the prediction equation and an incremental test on a treadmill to determine GT. The CV was identified by linear regression of the distance-time relationship based on 3000-m and 500-m running performance. The MLSS was identified using two to five tests on different days to identify the intensity at which there was no increase in blood lactate concentration greater than 1 mmol/L between the 10 th and 30 th minute. A significant difference was observed between mean CV and MLSS (P≤0.05) and there was a high correlation between MLSS and IAT ind (R 2 =0.82; P≤0.01) and between MLSS and GT (R 2 =0.72; P≤0.01). The Bland-Altman method showed agreement between MLSS and IAT ind [mean difference -0.24 (confidence interval -1.72 to 1.24) km/h] and between MLSS and GT [0.21 (-1.26 to 1.29) km/h]. We conclude that the IAT ind and GT can predict MLSS velocity with good accuracy, thus making the identification of MLSS practical and efficient to prescribe adequate intensities of aerobic exercise.

Agreement Between Maximal Lactate Steady State and Critical Power in Different Sports: A Systematic Review and Bayesian’s Meta-Regression

“…From the 36 studies, 31 were peer reviewed (26,28,34,37–39,47,48,61,70,71,78,83,85,86,90,91,98,102–104,107,109,110,112,117,119,120,123–125) and 5 were “gray literature” including 1 conference abstract (45) and 4 thesis or dissertations or monographs (15,32,64,121). Studies' main characteristics regarding MLSS and CP testing protocols and the observed study-level effect sizes (trueμ^CP−MLSS and trueσ^CP−MLSS) are shown in Table 2.…”
