Lactate testing

Inleiding/Introduction

A straightforward, comprehensive, and effective approach
21st edition 

 

Lactate devices are the new heart rate monitors. Just as happened 35 years ago with heart rate measurement, lactate measurement has also found its way to an ever-growing audience in recent years. And it will only become more accessible! It is only a matter of time before we can monitor lactate in real-time and non-invasively. If you, as a trainer, are involved in sports where endurance determines performance, you better don’t miss the boat!
 
The ambition of this two-day course is to (further) help you with this. On the first day, the emphasis is on evaluating the athlete's training status: we delve into the possible test modalities and consider the parameters that we can derive from a test.
During the second day of the course we shift the focus to providing training advice: we explain how you can integrate the test results into training schedules, and how they can help you with the selection of training exercises and with the periodization of the training process.
 
Karel wants to introduce you to different methods and visions, share his years of experience, and also provide practical and concrete guidelines based on his latest - and certainly progressive - insights. He wants to teach you to think critically about testing and training, and to learn a structured way of working through many representative cases and exercises.

This workshop is for you:

- If you like to gather a lot of relevant information in a short time;
- If you are looking for clarity amid the different views on testing and training;
- If you are looking for a relatively simple yet comprehensive and proven approach, with which you can start working right away !
- If you like to exchange ideas with colleagues.

Doelstellingen/Objectives

1) Be able to collect data:

- know how to administer a gradual maximal exercise test with lactate and heart rate measurement in a standardized manner
- be aware of the various test supplies
- be aware of different test modalities and being able to make a reasoned choice
- be aware of the different types of 'fitness tests'

 

2) Be able to make an objective diagnosis of endurance based on the test data:

- the lactate thresholds:
- be aware of the different methods to determine thresholds
- be able to determine thresholds
- be able to interpret the maximum lactate value in relation to age and fitness goals
- be able to assess other parameters (e.g. heart rate, power, speed)

 

3) Be able to link effective training advice to the test data:

- classifications of training exercises:
- be aware of different classifications
- have a notion of a classification of training exercises for cycling and running

- interval training:
- have insight into energy supply and lactate kinetics during (interval) training
- gain insight into the effects of different types of (interval) training on the lactate curve
- know how to manipulate the effect of a training exercise

- training zones:
- be aware of different methods to demarcate zones
- be aware of the advantages and disadvantages

- be able to select & set up training exercises in a 'systematic' way:
- based on the measured lactate profile
- accounting for the desired lactate profile (for the most diverse objectives)
- taking into account the time in the preparation
- taking into account the training background and ambitions of the athlete

 

4) general objectives:

- be able to work in a structured, careful, objective and consistent manner
- know the place of lactate testing in the big picture of sports coaching
