This study examined the relationship between the respiratory capacity of an individual''s skeletal muscle and the work rate at which blood lactate accumulation begins (lactate threshold). Comparisons were also made among fiber type, .ovrhdot.VO2 max and the lactate threshold. Muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis muscle for determination for respiratory capacity and fiber type (myosin ATPase). The lactate threshold was assessed in terms of both the absolute work rate (.ovrhdot.VO2) and relative work rate (%.ovrhdot.VO2 max). The capacity of muscle homogenates to oxidize pyruvate was significantly (P < 0.01) related to the absolute (r = 0.94) and relative (r = 0.83) lactate thresholds. Significant positive correlations (P < 0.01) were also found between the percent of slow-twitch fibers and absolute (r = 0.74) and relative (r = 0.70) lactate thresholds. The muscle''s respiratory capacity is of primary importance in determining the work rate at which blood lactate accumulation begins. The proportion of slow-twich fibers may play an important role in determining the rlative lactate threshold.
