what is lactate important
It is important to remember that lactate itself does not cause fatigue, and is actually used as a fuel within aerobic metabolism, where it can be oxidized directly or converted to pyruvate or glucose for oxidation (Philip et al., 2005).he lactate threshold/maximum lactate steady state (MLSS) corresponds to the exercise intensity at which there is a measurable increase in blood lactate levels above baseline values. During relatively low level aerobic activity, blood lactate levels remain low and will not differ significantly from resting values.
