Abstract
The interface between skeletal muscle activation
through aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis is of key interest to
sportspeople and athletes who participate in medium to long
distance sports, such as middle- and long-distance running,
cycling, swimming, rowing, kayaking and a variety of other
events. To date, the gold standard for measuring anaerobic
threshold (AT) is a structured test to exhaustion where blood
lactate concentration is measured at regular intervals. However,
the need for invasive testing, requiring trained personnel and
specialist equipment, limits the availability of such tests. This
paper proposes a non-invasive AT measurement method, which
validates well against AT measured using lactate analysis.
In addition, the proposed test has a relatively loose set of
requirements on the exercise test protocol required and just
requires a measure of exercise intensity and heart-rate. While
the test is applicable to a range of sports, usage is demonstrated
in this paper for a set of cyclists, using velocity as a measure
of exercise intensity.
