A study was conducted to estimate the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) using the sweat lactate threshold (sLT) in healthy adults. It was found that trained individuals had a higher MLSS based on sLT compared to untrained individuals. Trained participants were able to continue exercising even with a decrease in tissue oxygenation index (TOI) in the skeletal muscles.
A simple, non-invasive algorithm for maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) assessment has not been developed. We examined whether MLSS can be estimated from the sweat lactate threshold (sLT) using a novel sweat lactate sensor for healthy adults, with consideration of their exercise habits. Fifteen adults representing diverse fitness levels were recruited. Participants with/without exercise habits were defined as trained/untrained, respectively. Constant-load testing for 30 min at 110%, 115%, 120%, and 125% of sLT intensity was performed to determine MLSS. The tissue oxygenation index (TOI) of the thigh was also monitored. MLSS was not fully estimated from sLT, with 110%, 115%, 120%, and 125% of sLT in one, four, three, and seven participants, respectively. The MLSS based on sLT was higher in the trained group as compared to the untrained group. A total of 80% of trained participants had an MLSS of 120% or higher, while 75% of untrained participants had an MLSS of 115% or lower based on sLT. Furthermore, compared to untrained participants, trained participants continued constant-load exercise even if their TOI decreased below the resting baseline (P<0.01). MLSS was successfully estimated using sLT, with 120% or more in trained participants and 115% or less in untrained participants. This suggests that trained individuals can continue exercising despite decreases in oxygen saturation in lower extremity skeletal muscles.
