[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
The Lactate Inflection Point, or LIP, is:
|
|
The point at which lactate production exceeds removal
|
|
|
The point beyond which lactate production exceeds removal
|
|
|
The point after lactate production exceeds removal
|
|
|
The accumulation of lactate in the blood
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -At exercise intensities beyond an individual’s LIP, blood lactate concentration increases exponentially. Exercise intensities beyond the LIP are associated with a more rapid onset of fatigue due to an increased contribution form anaerobic energy pathways to meet the ATP demands of exercise.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lactate is a bi-product constantly produced in the body during normal metabolism and exercise. It does not increase in concentration until the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of lactate removal which is governed by a number of factors.
