  • Researchers at University of Tsukuba identified a previously unconfirmed gas exchange threshold in rats and demonstrated that this threshold, together with the lactate threshold, serves as an indicator of moderate-intensity exercise to determine the effectiveness of training in enhancing aerobic performance.

The article discusses a study conducted on rats to explore the relationship between gas exchange and lactate threshold as indicators of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The research, published in the journal Frontiers in Physiology, found that both gas exchange (measured by the volume of oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide produced) and lactate threshold (the point at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood) are valid markers for determining the intensity of aerobic exercise. This study is significant because it provides insights into how these physiological markers can be used to tailor exercise programs not just for athletes but also for individuals with health conditions like cardiovascular diseases or diabetes, where moderate exercise is beneficial. The findings suggest that monitoring these markers could help in optimizing exercise prescriptions to enhance health outcomes by ensuring the exercise intensity remains within a moderate range, which is crucial for improving aerobic capacity without overexertion.
