Fourteen sedentary 50- to 55-year-old men were exercised to exhaustion using an incremental treadmill protocol. Mean (±SEM) peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) was 40.5 ± 1.19 ml · kg1 · min−1, and maximum heart rate was 161 ± 4 beats · min−1. Blood lactate concentration was measured regularly to identify the lactate threshold (oxygen consumption at which blood lactate concentration begins to systematically increase). Threshold occurred at 84 ± 2% of V̇O2peak. The absolute lactate value at threshold was 2.9 ± 0.2 mmol · L−1. On a separate occasion, 6 subjects exercised continuously just below their individual lactate thresholds for 25 min without significantly raising their blood lactate levels from the 10th minute to the 25th. The absolute blood lactate level over the last 20 min of the steady-state test averaged 3.7 ± 1.2 mmol · L−1. This value is higher than that elicited at the threshold in the incremental test because of the differing nature of the protocols. It was concluded that although the lactate threshold occurs at a high percentage of V̇O2peak, subjects are still able to sustain exercise at that intensity for 25 min.

Andreato et al, 3 BJJ involves an explosive/static effort duration ratio of ~1:6. There is a general consensus that BJJ combats emphasize glycolytic pathways to supply energy demands. Blood lactate concentrations ranging from 11 to 14 mmol·L −1 are usually reported after combats. 4 – 7 Henceforth, the

It is well known that cycling cadences in terms of pedal revolutions per minute (rpm) affect metabolic responses over a wide range of given exercise intensities. 1 – 4 At low exercise intensities, blood lactate concentration (BLC) and respiratory measures are higher at high than at low rpm. As

With increasing exercise intensity during incremental whole-body exercise, 3 different metabolic phases separated by 2 thresholds can be observed. 1 These thresholds can be determined by systemic variables such as heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration, or ventilation (VE). 2 , 3 Although
