Anaerobic threshold (AT) is defined as the point of maximum intensity at which lactate is being produced but does not accumulate in blood during exercise. Training at this intensity is common in athletes. Lactate is currently regard as indicator of effort intensity. It is usually quantified by reflectometry of capillary blood. This procedure although not very invasive, may be annoying during repeated measurements. Saliva is proposed as an alternative sample.<p class="abste...
