Blood Lactate Responses to Exercise in Children: Part 2. Lactate Threshold

Peter Pfitzinger, Patty S. Freedson

Abstract

Part 2 reviews the literature concerning the lactate threshold in children. An analysis is presented comparing children to adults regarding responses to submaximal exercise, and the lactate threshold as a percentage of VO2max. Possible explanations for lower blood lactate concentrations during submaximal exercise in children are considered.
