Lactate-E 2.0

Lactate-E is distributed under a shareware licence. This means you can download and try the software for free but if you wish to continue to use it you must purchase a licence. If you cannot afford to purchase a licence the author may be willing to waive the fee.

You can purchase a licence now via PayPay by clicking on the Donate link. I suggest a price of €30 for individuals and €100 for organisations, but if you cannot afford this I will accept lesser amounts.

All of the features of Lactate-E are accessible from this drop-down menu. Simply choose the type of analysis you wish to perform, set the options on subsequent screens and everything else is automated.

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.
