Lactate-R

The Lactate-R software has been written in R, a powerful free computer language for statistical computing. Details on how to download and install R and the necessary code to run the Lactate Marker routines are available in the following tutorial Lactate R Tutorial.

The R code to run a lactate analysis and some sample data sets are all contained in the following zip file Lactate-R.zip which you must download and save in a suitable location.

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.
