Time-resolved energy-share reconstruction of individual glycolytic flux kinetics reveals duration-dependent bias in elite sprint cycling - European Journal of Applied Physiology
Background Maximal lactate accumulation rate (vLamax) is commonly used as a surrogate of anaerobic glycolytic power. Conventional protocols calculate vLamax as a mean rate over a fixed sprint window a...
