“…For example, greater accumulation of lactate in blood and muscle has been found during YYIR2, compared to YYIR1 (Krustrup et al, 2006). It has also been reported that YYIR2 causes a higher peak in blood lactate concentration, lower levels of phosphocreatine and lower muscle pH (Krustrup et al, 2006;Bangsbo et al, 2008), suggesting a higher anaerobic contribution than YYIR1.Despite this, the relationship between performance in both levels of the test and aerobic fitness is not clear (Bangsbo et al, 2008;Karakoç et al, 2012). Most studies compare cardiopulmonary responses and / or aerobic fitness with performance in the field test, making comparisons between the values obtained directly in a laboratory treadmill test, with the subsequent performance in the field test, without direct measurement of oxygen uptake in the latter, which would be an error due to the difference in the type of effort performed in both tests (Castagna et al, 2006).…”
