Factors Influencing Running Velocity at Lactate Threshold in Male and Female Runners at Different Levels of Performance

Abstract

Lactate threshold did not correlate with LT_V. The product of MAS and LT correlated strongly with LT_V. There were no differences between elite, national and recreational runners regarding LT, but female runners had higher LT than the male runners. Female runners at the same relative performance level had lower LT_V and VO_2max, but better C_R than male runners.
