Abstract

Objective: This study's objective was to observe the lactate dynamics following a supramaximal exercise test. Method: Following the Wingate Anaerobic Power Test (WAPT), 40 college-bound students with ages of 23.05 ± 2.42 years, heights of 173.63 ± 5.57 cm, and body weights of 69.40 ± 4.31 kg were measured to determine the amount of blood lactate at 10, 0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Using Stat strip Xpress 2, the blood lactate level was measured instantaneously in millimole/litter. Results: Ten minutes prior to the test, the resting level was measured; the results for the active and passive recovery groups were 1.19 ± 0.31 and 1.44 ± 0.24 mMol/L, respectively. Blood lactate levels increased dramatically after the WAPT treatment, reaching 14.65 ± 0.91 mMol/L in the active recovery group and 16.20 ± 1.41 mMol/L in the passive recovery group. In both groups, the blood lactate value peaked at the fifth minute and then gradually decreased.
