Short-term endurance training (10 days) increases whole-body lactate clearance rate (MCR) during submaximal exercise, despite unchanged lactate appearance rates.
If you are new to endurance training, your body's ability to clear lactate improves significantly within just 10 days of consistent submaximal exercise. This happens because your muscles get better at using lactate as fuel (clearance), not because they produce less of it. Focus on consistent, moderate-intensity sessions to trigger this metabolic efficiency.
MCR during the rest to exercise transition was significantly increased (P < 0.01) after training... Whole body clearance of lactate during the protocol by 40% (Table 1).
Why this rating
Controlled clinical trial with stable isotope tracing, though small sample size (n=8).
