Calculation of a conversion factor for estimating the glycolytic contribution in exercise from post-exercise blood lactate concentration

Purpose: Often, the glycolytic contribution in a bout of heavy or severe intensity exercise is estimated by multiplying the increase in blood lactate concentration above resting levels that is engendered by the exercise (in mM) by 3.3 (or 3) mL·kg−1 per mM. Our purpose was to verify the value of thi...
