Xeno Müller explains why lactate testing is important and how to use a lactate tester.
It is vital to know the training levels of athletes. Lactate testing is one of the most accurate and easily obtainable measurement tools for that. Xeno emphasizes that out of the 500 watts that he generated to win the Olympic gold, 300 was generated by the aerobic capacity (lactate level was under 2 mmol·l-1). Xeno: “You need to use lactate testers to find out at what level your rower is training – so that they don’t train too hard”
