Title: Exercise duration and blood lactate concentrations following high intensity cycle ergometry

Body mass, stature, and age of the group was determined prior to testing (82.57 5.94 kg 177 5.94 cm and 21.42 1.61 yrs, respectively). Eight male rugby union players performed two maximal sprints in a random fashion of 10 and 20 sec duration on a cycle ergometer. During the 10 and 20 sec trial, blood lactate levels measured were as follows 1.58 0.78, 4.43 1.4, and 3.5 1.2 mmol.l 1 vs. 1.72 0.65, 6.14 2, and 5.68 2.22 mmol.l 1, respectively. Differences were found (P 0.05). The concentrations observed are interesting and may influence recovery time and subsequent exercise performance.Read More
