Lactate Accumulation.

Question 1

What are the determinates of Lactate accumulation?

Answer 1

Intensity.
Fitness.
RER.
Rate of Removal.
Muscle Fibre Types.

Question 2

How does the Intensity of Exercise affect Lactate Accumulation?

Answer 2

The higher the intensity, the greater the chance of lactate.

Question 3

How does the Fitness of the Performer affect Lactate Accumulation?

Answer 3

The fitter the performer, the less lactate accumulation.

Question 4

What is RER?

Answer 4

Respiratory Exchange Ration.

Question 5

What is the RER equation?

Answer 5

RER = CO2 out / O2 in.

Question 6

How does the Respiratory Exchange Ratio affect Lactate Accumulation?

Answer 6

The closer your RER is to 1.00, the greater the chance of lactate.

Question 7

How does the Rate of Removal affect Lactate Accumulation?

Answer 7

The faster you can remove lactic acid, the less lactate will build up.

Question 8

How does the Muscle Fibre Type affect Lactate Accumulation?

Answer 8

The more slow twitch fibres, the less lactate accumulated.
