Metabolic Threshold Training

Meaning

Metabolic Threshold Training is a specialized exercise modality strategically designed to elevate the physiological point at which the body transitions from relying predominantly on aerobic metabolism to engaging in rapid, anaerobic energy production. This training focuses on improving the lactate threshold, which is a critical marker of cardiorespiratory fitness and metabolic flexibility. By systematically challenging this threshold, the body enhances its capacity to clear lactate and sustain higher intensity exercise for longer durations. This regimen is a potent tool for optimizing mitochondrial health and systemic metabolic function.
