Aerobic Fitness Evaluation during Walking Tests Identifies the Maximal Lactate Steady State

Table 2

General results corresponding to maximal lactate steady-state intensity (MLSS), lactate minimum, relative to peak variables. Intensity; VO₂: oxygen uptake; VCO₂: carbon dioxide output; VE: minute ventilation; HR: heart rate; RPE: rate of perceived exertion.
