FIGURE 5.

Simulation of a graded exercise test of two subjects with extreme differences of their ν_La.max but equal $\dot{\mathrm{V}}$ O_2max (65 ml min⁻¹ kg⁻¹). The lactate curves are simulated using the revised version of Mader’s human exercise metabolism model (Mader, 1984; Mader, 2003). The first subject (blue curve) has a low maximal glycolytic rate (ν_La.max) of 0.3 mmol^.L⁻¹ s⁻¹. The second subject (red curve) has a ν_La.max of 1.0 mmol^.L⁻¹ s⁻¹.
