What is the differences between anaerobic threshold and lactate threshold?

Lactate Threshold and Anaerobic Threshold (also known as the Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation OBLA) are very similar and for most intents and purposes are referred to as the same thing. Lactate Threshold is the point at which lactic acid produce in the muscle during glycolysis is not metabolised as fast as it is being produced. Anaerobic Threshold is the result of this Lactate Threshold, after Lactate Threshold occurs the extra lactic acid from the muscle then acuminates into the blood, once Blood Lactate (BL) level reaches 4 mmol/L it is defined as Anaerobic Threshold or OBLA. Additionally, this Lactic acid is then Broken into lactate and acid (H+ ions). The lactate is recycled and used as an energy source, while the H+ ions are neutralised in the blood, with a by-product being CO2, the CO2 then needs to be expelled through ventilation, this is called Ventilatory Threshold (VT) and is characterised by a sudden heavy ventilation. Put simply Lactate Threshold, Anaerobic Threshold and Ventilatory Threshold happen in a cascade chain and each threshold usually occurs soon after the one before it.

When does someone know when their anaerobic threshold has been reached?
Sport scientists use lactate monitoring to deduce a persons anaerobic limit.
What is the relation between lactate threshold and ventilatory threshold?
They both are reached are approx the same time, it is thought to be that the large change (drop) in blood pH when the lactate threshold is reached is causes ventilation to increase rapidly to try and counteract this blood pH change. The lactate threshold itself is just the point at which lactate removal can no longer keep up with lactate production.
The difference between aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis is?
Anaerobic glycolysis produces lactate, aerobic glycolysis produces pyruvate.
What does lactate cause?
Lactate threshold is caused when lactate production exceeds lactate clearance during exercise or increasing intensity.
What is lthr?
lthr is a lactate threshold heart rate.
How can cells produce ATP without oxygen?
This question refers to anaerobic respiration. It is specifically known as the Cori, or lactic acid cycle which produces ATP between the muscle and liver.
Which of the following are true about lactate dehydrogenase?
Correct answer: I, II, III and IV
Is lactate normal as an end product of anaerobic metabolism?
Yes. But we are not supposed to be anaerobic organism and this lactate will eventually converted into to carbon bi oxide and water to give us energy.
What does the term anaerobic threshold refer to?
it is to describe the phenomenon that takes place in all athletes- namely the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain and still have no increase in lactate. At this speed or effort, lactate levels in the blood remain constant. it is to describe the phenomenon that takes place in all athletes- namely the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain and still have no increase in lactate.

What cellular process releases ATP by breaking down glucose into lactate?
Anaerobic cellular respiration breaks down glucose into lactate
What are the two main types of lactic acid fermentation?
These two are aerobic with Oxygen and anaerobic without Oxygen. Aerobic metabolism of lactate is proceeded in the presence of O2. Aerobic metabolism of lactate is incapacitated in the absence of O2, and the resulting anaerobic metabolism of lactate yields Lactic Acid which provides Muscle Burn.
What compound is the end-product of anaerobic respiration in exercising muscle citrate or lactate?
dgfbsrthsrhrhr
