Synopsis:
- Delayed OBLA, complete shift of the lactate curve, which may have beneficial implications for endurance athletes as it would allow prolonged high intensity exercise during competition and endurance exercise training
- Lower lactate of 13% and increased power at maximum oxygen uptake
- Up to 27% lower lactate across all cycling intensities
- Conclusion: Observations suggest increased lactate clearance
- The delay in OBLA could be predictive for an enhancement of cycling endurance performance
