Preferred Label : anaerobic threshold;
MeSH definition : The oxygen consumption level above which aerobic energy production is supplemented
by anaerobic mechanisms during exercise, resulting in a sustained increase in lactate
concentration and metabolic acidosis. The anaerobic threshold is affected by factors
that modify oxygen delivery to the tissues; it is low in patients with heart disease.
Methods of measurement include direct measure of lactate concentration, direct measurement
of bicarbonate concentration, and gas exchange measurements.;
MeSH synonym : anaerobic thresholds; threshold, anaerobic; thresholds, anaerobic;
