This investigation examined the relationship among plasma catecholamines, the blood lactate threshold (TLa), and the ventilatory threshold (T.ovrhdot.VE) in highly trained endurance athletes. Six competitive cyclists and six varsity cross-country runners performed a graded exercise test via two different modalites: treadmill running and bicycle ergometry. Although maximal oxygen consumption (.ovrhdot.V2max) did not differ significantly for the cyclists for treadmill running and cycling (64.6 .+-. 1.0 and 63.5 .+-. 0.4 ml O2 .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. min-1, respectively) both TLa and T.ovrhdot.VE occurred at a relatively earlier work load during the treadmill run. The opposite was true for the runners as TLa and T.ovrhdot.VE appeared at an earlier percent of .ovrhdot.VO2max during cycling compared with treadmill running (60.0 .+-. 1.7 vs. 75.0 .+-. 4.0%, respectively, TLa). The inflection in plasma epinephrine shifted in an identical manner and occurred simultaneously with that of TLa (r = 0.97) regardless of the testing protocol or training status. Although a high correlation (r = 0.86) existed for the shift in T.ovrhdot.VE and TLa, this relationship was not as strong as was seen with plasma epinephrine. The results suggest that a casual relationship existed between the inflection in plasma epinephrine and TLa during a graded exercise test. This association was not as strong for T.ovrhdot.VE and TLa.
