Maximising Functional Capacity: Delay Your Lactate Inflection Point

Maximising Functional Capacity: Delay Your Lactate Inflection Point

We've discussed how to maximise your aerobic engine, but how can we now functionally perform at this power? Your Lactate Inflection Point (LIP) is the exercise intensity at which your body produces lactate at the exact same rate as it can remove it, with any slight increases in exercise intensity causing an exponential rise in blood lactate and subsequent fatigue.
