Summary

This study found that two slope protocols reliably determine the lactic acidosis threshold (LAT) and VO2-VCO2 relationship during incremental exercise. The LAT showed high reproducibility with a narrow confidence interval.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Background:

  • The VO2-VCO2 relationship and lactic acidosis threshold (LAT) are key indicators of exercise intensity and metabolic status.
  • Accurate determination of LAT is crucial for exercise prescription and performance analysis.
  • Understanding the reproducibility of these measures under different protocols is essential for reliable physiological assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of two distinct slope protocols on the reproducibility of the VO2-VCO2 relationship and LAT during incremental exercise.
  • To assess the reliability of LAT determination using the V-slope method under varying incremental exercise conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Two adult male subjects underwent repeated cycle ergometer exercise sessions.

  • Work rate increased by 25 W every 1 or 2 minutes, with gas exchange parameters measured every 10 seconds.
  • The V-slope method was applied to filtered data (excluding exercise onset transients and data above respiratory compensation of metabolic acidosis) to determine LAT and VO2-VCO2 relationships.

    • Main Results:

    • Both slope protocols demonstrated high reproducibility for lactic acidosis threshold (LAT) determination.
    • The confidence interval for LAT estimation was approximately +/- 0.1 L/min in terms of VO2.
    • Stable and consistent VO2-VCO2 responses were observed during incremental exercise with a 25 W/min work rate increase.

    Conclusions:

    • The V-slope method, applied to filtered data, provides a reproducible means of determining LAT during incremental exercise.
    • The choice of slope protocol appears to have minimal impact on the reproducibility of LAT and the VO2-VCO2 relationship.
    • These findings support the use of these protocols for reliable physiological assessments in exercise science.
