Description
Summary:Buresh, R.J., K.E. Berg, and J.M. Noble. Relationship between measures of body size and composition and velocity of lactate threshold. J. Strength Cond. Res. 18(3):504-507. 2004.-The purpose of this investigation was to explore the relationship between velocity of lactate threshold (vLT) and various measures of body mass and composition: mass, lean mass, fat mass, percent body fat (% fat), and body surface area (BSA). We hypothesized that mass would be inversely related to vLT, and that differences in measures of body mass and composition would account for a significant amount of variability in vLT. A total of 21 healthy male runners served as subjects. Body composition was assessed by hydrostatic weighing. A significant negative relationship (r = - 0.759, p
