Portable non-invasive device for lactate threshold determination

Abstract

Lactate is an important metabolic product that provides an opportunity for analysing a person's physical condition. This paper will focus on the phenomenon of anaerobic metabolic threshold. Receiving an accurate value of this parameter allows designing a precise training plan that corresponds to any goals, from prevention of cardiovascular diseases to achieving high performance in sports disciplines. There are different ways to find out lactate threshold but all of them either handy but not rigour or explicit but invasive. Therefore, this piece will offer options on how to create a minimally sized non-invasive device which allows to integrate a strict low cost, recyclable and convenient for use in any context lactate threshold measurement technology in sports centres and in the lives of people interested in their health and outcomes.
