Lactate Pro

This device is a portable blood lactate analyzer used by Pure Element Health & Training, Fusium Medical Clinic, and other sport scientists, coaches and athletes to accurately determine Heart Rate training zones, and to calculate proper rest ratio.  Lactate is a metabolic product that can be measured by taking a drop of blood at a finger tip the same way diabetics monitor their blood sugar level. The blood lactate level increases with exercise intensity which shows clearly the transition from aerobic (Oxygen dependent) to anaerobic activity (Oxygen Independent).

Lactate measurement is far more precise than the outdated and inaccurate method of estimating percentages of maximum heart rate to set training zones (aka. Karvonen Formula). Since heart rate is an individual response, heart rate training zones need to be determined by measurement of physiological variables not set by mathematical formulas. Obtaining blood during the training session allows us to plot your lactate measures over time and intensity level to find where your threshold between aerobic and anaerobic conditioning lies.
