The blood [lactate] response to a constant power output test indicative of MLSS (solid black line) versus a blood [lactate] response which would be, according to the strict definition of MLSS which considers only the absolute blood [lactate] values at 10 and 30 min, defined as being above MLSS (dotted line). Note, however, that despite being supposedly above MLSS (dotted line), blood [lactate] stabilized between 15 and 30 min. This highlights one of the potential sources of error in defining MLSS from just two data points and applying a rather arbitrary tolerance limit (Δ1.0 mmol/L) for the increase in blood [lactate] between them.
