Diagnostics | Lactate Acidosis

Diagnostics Due to the unspecific symptoms, a lactate acidosis can only be confirmed by a laboratory examination. One speaks of a lactic acidosis if the pH value is below 7.36 and at the same time the lactate concentration is increased above 5 mmol/l. If only the pH-value is lowered and the lactate concentration is as … Diagnostics | Lactate Acidosis

Dialysis | Lactate Acidosis

Dialysis In a severe form of lactate acidosis, dialysis (blood washing) is used to remove excess lactate from the blood. Dialysis is normally used in cases of terminal kidney failure, primarily to filter toxic waste products and excess electrolytes from the blood. In the context of lactate acidosis, dialysis is mainly used when the blood … Dialysis | Lactate Acidosis

How can I measure my heart rate? | Heart Rate

How can I measure my heart rate? Different methods are suitable for measuring heart rate. From the very simple, orienting to high-tech devices, there is something for every taste. The simplest (and most cost effective) method is the manual “feel the pulse”. The easiest way is to do this with a partner, but with a … How can I measure my heart rate? | Heart Rate

Heart rate in sports – What should be considered? | Heart Rate

Heart rate in sports – What should be considered? Under stress – be it physical or mental – the heart rate increases. This is also true for conscious physical activity in the context of sports. The extreme maximum that can be achieved is the so-called maximum heart rate. However, it should not be considered a … Heart rate in sports – What should be considered? | Heart Rate

Lactate thresholds

Lactate is a metabolic product of the so-called anaerobic lactacid glucose metabolism. This metabolic pathway enables the energy supply from glucose without oxygen (? anaerobic). In addition to the energy carrier ATP (=adenosine triphosphate), lactate, a salt of lactic acid, is also produced. At rest, the lactate reference range is between 0.9 and 2.0 mmol/l. … Lactate thresholds

Lactate determination | Lactate thresholds

Lactate determination The principle for the determination of lactate levels in blood is based on the photometric determination of a dye which is produced by adding two enzymes. More precisely, these are the two enzymes lactate oxidase (“LOD”) and peroxidase (“POD”). First the lactate present in the blood reacts with the lactate oxidase to form … Lactate determination | Lactate thresholds

Training Effectiveness | Heart Rate Training

Training Effectiveness Especially the topic of overloading is not unimportant. One should know to distinguish between what is good and what is rather bad. To achieve an optimal training effectiveness a certain training stimulus is necessary. This stimulus is most effective if you work at the upper limit of the THF for a short time.Only … Training Effectiveness | Heart Rate Training
