摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for the identification of the lactic-acid threshold, which comprises the steps of non-invasively measuring changes in the arterial carbon-dioxide content of a living creature, subjecting said living creature to work at different workloads, measuring, as well as varying in a controllable way, the above-mentioned workload of the same living creature, determining the workload at the point of inflection where the carbon-dioxide content of the arterial blood begins to decrease as a consequence of increased workload, by measuring changes in the above-mentioned arterial carbon-dioxide content and said workload, and of relating said point of inflection to the lactic-acid threshold. The invention relates furthermore to a measuring device for the identification of the lactic-acid threshold, which comprises a first measuring unit (1) for the non-invasive measurement of changes in the arterial carbon-dioxide content of a living creature under workload and a second measuring unit (2) for the measurement of said workload. |
