Lactate (INSCYD-Sim) is an advanced Connect IQ data field that runs a real-time simulated blood lactate accumulation and clearance model. Fully customized based on professional metabolic profiling, it gives you a live estimate of blood lactate levels (mmol/L) during active surges and recovery.
| Glycolytic Capacity (VLamax) | 0.61 mmol/L/s |
| Aerobic Capacity (VO₂max) | 66.7 ml/min/kg |
| Peak Clearance Capacity | ~0.77 mmol/L/s |
| Baseline Lactate | 1.0 mmol/L |
Lactate simulation models the physiological balance between active production and systemic clearance.
Calculates real-time lactate accumulation rates as power climbs above your Aerobic Threshold, mimicking glycolytic flux and carbohydrate combustion.
Models the clearance of lactate by the liver, heart, and active slow-twitch muscle fibers, scaling clearance capacity dynamically according to recovery power.
Excellent for pacing long climbs or repeats. Watch your simulated lactate climb to 8–10 mmol/L during surges and track how quickly it decays as you return to Zone 2.
Blood lactate is not just a waste product; it is a highly mobile fuel source. When your muscles exceed the aerobic capacity of slow-twitch fibers, fast-twitch fibers begin consuming glycogen rapidly, producing lactate.
This Connect IQ data field simulates this metabolic balance on the fly. By setting your exact VLamax and VO₂max from an INSCYD or diagnostic metabolic report, the mathematical simulation dynamically integrates your instantaneous power output to approximate the blood lactate concentration curve.
It provides key pacing feedback for micro-bursts and anaerobic repeat capacity, helping you understand exactly how deep you have gone and when your muscles are clear and ready for the next match.
