A tutorial containing examples of blood lactate analysis for an athlete at a single time point, across three time points and for a complete squad is available to download
here.
The three sample data sets referred to in the tutorial are available here:
- Sample Runner.xls
- Team Lactate Data.xls
- Runner Timeline Data.xls
Due to an inconsistency in the Microsoft Excel programming environment the above version of Lactate-E will not work with Dutch versions of Microsoft Excel. Try
this version if you are running the Dutch version of Microsoft Excel.
There is also a problem with the Dmax method in certain situations. This has been resolved in version 2.0.
A paper detailing the algorithms used to calculate the markers has been published in the Journal of Sports Sciences under the title “
Software For Calculating Blood Lactate Endurance Markers” (J. Newell, D. Higgins, N. Madden, J. Cruikshank, J. Einbeck, K. McMillan, R. McDonald). Volume 25, Issue 12, October 2007, pg 1403-1409.
It is expected that use of this software will be acknowledged by a suitable reference.
