ILT-test algorithms. Swimming pace (SSin) during warm-up (WUP) was self-chosen. The fine threshold adjustment (FTA) was executed in accordance to test duration and blood lactate dynamics. The current threshold criteria (TC) 1, 2 and 2a for determination of the individual lactate threshold (ILT), have been developed into their current form by continuously incorporating ILT-test data. After determination of the individual lactate threshold (ILT), the lactate accumulation usually slowed down after a slight workload reduction indicating the MLSSW. [La], blood lactate concentration; MLSSW, maximal lactate steady state workload; RPE, rate of perceived exertion; and WLTAs, initial workload adaptation.
