Influences of Blood Lactate Levels on Cognitive Domains and Physical Health during a Sports Stress. Brief Review.

The present review aims to examine the effects of high blood lactate levels in healthy adult humans, for instance, after a period of exhaustive exercise, on the functioning of the cerebral cortex. In some of the examined studies, high blood lactate levels were obtained not only through exhaustive exercise but also with an intravenous infusion of lactate while the subject was immobile. This allowed us to exclude the possibility that the observed post-exercise effects were nonspecific (e.

Executive Functions During Submaximal Exercises in Male Athletes: Role of Blood Lactate.
