Lactate Threshold testing is a gold-standard assessment for cyclists and endurance athletes seeking targeted, effective training. Performed on a cycle ergometer, you’ll ride through progressively harder stages while small capillary blood samples are collected from the earlobe. These samples measure lactate concentration to identify both your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.

Together, these thresholds reveal how efficiently your body uses energy, how long you can sustain effort, and when fatigue is likely to set in—providing deeper insight than heart rate, VO_{2 max} or power data alone.

Key benefits include:

Personalized Training Zones aligned with your physiology.

Precise Benchmarks to track performance improvements.

Smarter Race Pacing through knowledge of sustainable power outputs.

Reduced Overtraining Risk with better workload management.

Whether preparing for competition, building fitness, or looking to maximize training time, cycle-based lactate threshold testing provides clear, actionable data to help you ride stronger and recover more effectively.

Exercise testing completed at Tides is using a Wattbike Atom Next Generation exercise bike. If you are interested in a different modality or home-based testing, please contact the team.
