Anaerobic threshold using sweat lactate sensor under hypoxia
Abstract We aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of sweat lactate threshold (sLT) measurement based on the real-time monitoring of the transition in sweat lactate levels (sLA) under hypoxic exercise. In this cross-sectional study, 20 healthy participants who underwent exercise tests usi...

description | Abstract We aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of sweat lactate threshold (sLT) measurement based on the real-time monitoring of the transition in sweat lactate levels (sLA) under hypoxic exercise. In this cross-sectional study, 20 healthy participants who underwent exercise tests using respiratory gas analysis under hypoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2], 15.4 ± 0.8%) in addition to normoxia (FiO2, 20.9%) were included; we simultaneously monitored sLA transition using a wearable lactate sensor. The initial significant elevation in sLA over the baseline was defined as sLT. Under hypoxia, real-time dynamic changes in sLA were successfully visualized, including a rapid, continual rise until volitionary exhaustion and a progressive reduction in the recovery phase. High intra- and inter-evaluator reliability was demonstrated for sLT’s repeat determinations (0.782 [0.607–0.898] and 0.933 [0.841–0.973]) as intraclass correlation coefficients [95% confidence interval]. sLT correlated with ventilatory threshold (VT) (r = 0.70, p < 0.01). A strong agreement was found in the Bland–Altman plot (mean difference/mean average time: − 15.5/550.8 s) under hypoxia. Our wearable device enabled continuous and real-time lactate assessment in sweat under hypoxic conditions in healthy participants with high reliability and validity, providing additional information to detect anaerobic thresholds in hypoxic conditions. |
