Metabolic adaptation

Blood lactate concentrations were lower at 4 days and 9 days of training compared to pretraining, and were also lower at 30 days than at all other times.

Endurance training reduces blood lactate levels early in the training process, indicating improved exercise tolerance.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Blood lactate concentrations (after 6 min of cycling) were also lower at 4D and 9D than PRE (P < 0.01) and were lower at 30D than at all other times (P < 0.01).
