Abstract
The individual’s maximal oxygen uptake sets an upper limit for the amount of energy, which can be liberated during prolonged exercise (i.e. 10 mm or more). However, the rate of energy can be markedly increased during shorter work periods because energy can be derived anaerobically in addition to that derived from the aerobic processes. Anaerobic processes give rise to a production of lactate, which diffuses from the muscle cell to the blood, where it can easily be measured. The lactate concentration in arterial blood is usually taken as an indication of the extent to which the anaerobic processes are involved during work.
