Modulation of testing conditions such as resting lactate (La) levels or carbohydrate intake may affect the calculation of the maximal glycolytic rate (νLa.max). To evaluate the impact of elevated La as well as reduced and increased carbohydrate availability on νLa.

Thirty male national-level track cyclists participated in this study ( = 30) and performed a 15-s ASCT. The anaerobic power output (W and W), oxygen uptake, and blood lactate concentrations (La) were measured.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a group of Cologne-based researchers around Wildor Hollmann, Alois Mader, and Hermann Heck developed the methodology for systematic lactate testing and introduced a 4 mmolL lactate threshold. Later, they also developed the concept of the maxLass, and Mader designed a sophisticated mathematical model of human energy metabolism during exercise.

Twenty-four professional soccer players (age: 24.53 ± 4.
