They explore the effectiveness of different pedaling techniques, the implications of heart rate variations, and how to assess the stress of high-intensity sessions. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the complexities of lactate levels and their relationship to training stress, emphasizing that the increase in stress is not linear. They discuss the importance of recovery, especially for older athletes, and the need to listen to one's body rather than relying solely on objective metrics. The practicality of lactate testing is questioned, with the consensus that while it can provide useful information, it may not be worth the hassle for most athletes. The conversation concludes with encouragement for athletes to focus on their training and recovery, especially in light of personal challenges. Takeaways Zone two riding may not be effective without specific drills. High and low cadence training can be beneficial for certain events. Research on cadence training shows mixed results. Single leg drills can help identify muscular imbalances. Preferred cadence varies by cycling discipline. Heart rate can decrease with increased training volume. A decline in heart rate can indicate improved fitness. Lactate testing can provide insights into workout stress. Intensity sessions should be tailored to individual recovery. Understanding lactate levels can help manage training loads. Lactate levels vary among individuals and are not a strict measure of stress. Recovery is crucial, especially for older athletes. Training should balance subjective feelings and objective metrics. Lactate testing can be cumbersome and may not provide significant benefits. Listening to your body is essential for effective training. VO2 max sessions can be more stressful than longer endurance rides. Athletes should focus on their overall training volume and recovery. Subjective experiences can often contradict objective data. It's important to adjust training intensity based on how one feels. Overcoming personal challenges can lead to significant fitness gains. Titles Exploring the Effectiveness of Pedaling Drills Understanding Heart Rate Changes in Cyclists The Role of Lactate Testing in Cycling Performance Maximizing Cycling Efficiency Through Cadence Training Sound Bites "Zone two riding is a waste of time." "I think there is a purpose for everything." "Stress increases exponentially, not linearly." "You need to be aware of your body." "Recovery should be his main focus." "Sometimes training requires subjectivity." "Training is very subjective." "Lactate testing is a pain in the ass." "Lactate checking is too much of a headache." Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Pedaling Drills Discussion 16:47 Heart Rate Changes and Training Adaptations 20:10 Lactate Testing and Intensity Session Stress 22:35 Understanding Lactate Levels and Stress Response 28:28 The Importance of Recovery in Training 34:57 Subjectivity vs. Objectivity in Training Metrics 40:40 The Practicality of Lactate Testing 45:36 Encouragement and Future Outlook for Athletes

In this episode, I discuss how different forms of exercise impact brain health and performance in both the short and long term. I explain how many of the positive effects of exercise on brain function occur through the action of specific neurochemicals that increase alertness. I also cover how to best time exercise and which specific types of exercise to include in your weekly routine to maximize benefits for your brain. Additionally, I explain how certain types of exercise trigger the release of a hormone from your bones called osteocalcin, as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Together, these substances increase neuroplasticity and enhance learning. The positive effects of exercise on brain oxygenation, blood supply, and fuel utilization are also discussed.

Busting the Myth of Lactic Acid and Understanding Muscle Burn Episode Description: In this episode, we dive deep into the common misconceptions surrounding lactate and its role in exercise performance. Many people believe that lactic acid is responsible for the muscle burn we feel during intense workouts, but the truth is much more complex. Join us as we explore what really causes that burning sensation and how lactate functions as a valuable fuel source in our bodies. Key Topics: Myth of Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is often misunderstood in exercise physiology. The real byproduct of anaerobic metabolism is lactate, not lactic acid. The role of lactate in energy production during high-intensity exercise. Understanding Lactate: Produced during carbohydrate glycolysis when oxygen supply is insufficient. Serves as a crucial energy source for other tissues, including the heart and liver. Lactate Shuttling: How lactate is transported from muscle cells to other tissues for energy. The conversion of lactate back into pyruvate for ATP production. The Real Cause of Muscle Burn: The sensation of "lactic acid burn" is caused by the accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+), not lactate. The impact of acidosis on muscle function and performance. How the buildup of hydrogen ions lowers muscle pH and affects contraction efficiency. Lactate's Role in Recovery: Lactate acts as a buffer against acidity and helps delay fatigue. The importance of light activity in recovery to clear lactate and hydrogen ions. Key Takeaways: The “burn” during intense exercise signals muscle fatigue but is primarily due to hydrogen ion accumulation. Lactate is a beneficial byproduct that can support sustained exercise and aid recovery.

0-20: Chet Paulsen introduction and talking about the birth of Rockcuffs, understanding Blood Flow Restriction, design of BFR cuffs. Design problems are the main cause for safety issues. Truly dissecting research and understanding improper or misrepresented studies. Hormonal response to BFR, endocrine response, cause for DOMS. Using BFR for pain reduction for up to 24 hours afterwards.20-30: BFR reduces pain, improves strength and muscle size, improve adherence to use, uses for recovery. Ability to improve Vo2 Max levels. Importance of using BFR on both limbs.30-40: Targeting both sides with BFR as both limbs become affected after an injury/surgery. Average person does not know their 1 Rep max, can use BFR with minimal exercises with process of tightening and loosening to have benefits. BFR can have benefits during passive range of mobilization and joint mobilizations. BFR is not just mechanical it is endocrine, metabolic hack. Hormonal release is systemic, hypothalamus will put hormones in motion. Cells become more permeable to IGF Insulin growth factor. M Torque 1 is where it makes transition from blood stream to the muscle. BFR can have benefits for slowing diseases like Parkinson's due to angiogenesis process. Importance of using BFR post injury.40-50: Contraindications to using BFR. Safety and injury issues with BFR come from high pressure. Pressure changes when exercising, Arterial Occlusion pressure changes on muscle based on position of muscle and also from rest to exercises as blood flow increases. Venous pressure is 1/10th of arterial, veins are more compliant as they have a smaller muscle around them, hold 70% of blood volume. Venous occlusion happens between 20-70mm of pressure. Rock cuffs are rigid and equal efficiency pressure of 2 inches. Pneumatic cuffs tend to bubble and limited adequate pressure, too much pressure in the middle. Most pneumatic cuffs are shiny object tools. Understanding cuff size and efficient pressure to limb size.50-60: Pressure doubles under cuff during exercise, more pressure is not better. Time it takes for set up and ease of putting on cuffs being a factor. Understanding measuring venous pressure, difference between lean individuals and bigger individuals and use of pressure on cuff. Reinforcing again that the pressure in the cuff when the muscle is relaxed changes when the muscle is contracted. 30-15-15-15 with the rest breaks is the aerobic capacity of the muscle. The middle part of the last set, fatigue should occur. Reps should be consistent without a pause, pause means fatigue is setting in and too much pressure. Don't need fancy equipment to tell you how tight a cuff needs to be.60-70: Understanding proper placement and use of Rockcuffs, adjusting pressure, dosage of exercise. Arterial flow is never full occluded, do not need to fully occlude arterial flow. 18-20 minutes is max time of being occluded. Feedback and observation are best clues to understanding occlusion and fatigue levels. Lactate levels above normal for 10 minutes 3x week, hypothalamus will start it's process. BFR has to be consistent and used as a supplement to exercise not just one set of exercise or one time use during a week.70-80: BFR is a partnering with body system response not a punishment or trick system like most training programs. Calorie consumption is important for during use of BFR. Central aminos, hydration are key for building blocks IGF, and M Torque 1 process. Protein synthesis will be optimized with BFR, hydration and central aminos. Avoid caffeine for 90 minutes beforehand using BFR routine, Have caffeine after because it is a vasoconstrictor. Following BFR want vasodilation response after Un occluding. BFR allows to do exercise with less weight and less injury due to lower resistance and focus on form and technique.

The Truth About Lactate: It's Not What You Think | Dr. Ben Bikman

The Metabolic Classroom

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 20, 2024 30:33


In this week's episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Ben Bikman clarifies misconceptions about lactate metabolism, emphasizing that there is no lactic acid in the human body—only lactate.He explains that lactate is the end product of non-oxidative glycolysis, produced when cells, particularly muscles and red blood cells, require quick ATP energy. Dr. Bikman highlights that lactate production occurs during high-intensity activities where energy demand exceeds the capacity of mitochondria to generate ATP efficiently.Contrary to popular belief, lactate is not responsible for muscle soreness or fatigue.Ben delves into the history of lactate research, mentioning key contributors like Otto Meyerhoff, who identified lactate as a product of anaerobic metabolism, and Carl and Gerty Cori, who discovered the Cori cycle. This cycle demonstrates how lactate is recycled by the liver into glucose, which can then be used by muscles for energy. Lactate, once considered a waste product, is now understood to be an essential substrate for gluconeogenesis.Dr. Bikman introduces George Brooks' lactate shuttle theory, which reveals that lactate is a viable energy source that can be directly utilized by mitochondria for fuel. He explains that this discovery revolutionized the understanding of lactate, showing it can be oxidized within cells for energy production rather than merely being excreted as a waste product.Dr. Bikman also discusses lactate's potential in clinical contexts, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery, where lactate can serve as an alternative energy source for the brain when glucose metabolism is impaired. Moreover, he touches on how lactate influences fat cells, promoting mitochondrial uncoupling and aiding in fat burning, contributing to metabolic health. Ben suggests that continuous lactate monitoring could help identify mitochondrial dysfunction and predict type 2 diabetes risk.https://www.insuliniq.com 00:00 - Introduction to Lactate Metabolism01:09 - Lactic Acid vs. Lactate: Debunking the Myth02:16 - Glycolysis and Lactate Production04:23 - How Lactate is Produced in Muscles06:23 - Red Blood Cells and Lactate07:18 - History of Lactate Research: Otto Meyerhoff09:40 - The Cori Cycle: Lactate Recycled into Glucose13:54 - Lactate as a Viable Energy Source15:55 - George Brooks' Lactate Shuttle Theory18:44 - Lactate and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)20:55 - Lactate's Role in Fat Burning and Mitochondria23:58 - Lactate in Clinical Contexts: Metabolic Health25:09 - Continuous Lactate Monitoring and Mitochondrial Dysfunction28:59 - Lactate as a Predictor of Type 2 Diabetes29:59 - Conclusion: Lactate's Critical Role in Health and EnergyBen's favorite meal-replacement shake: https://gethlth.com (discount: BEN10)Ben's favorite electrolytes (and more): https://redmond.life (discount: BEN15)Ben's favorite allulose source: https://rxsugar.com (discount: BEN20)References:Due to character length constraints, references are not posted here.

Sepsis, originally known as blood poisoning, is a life-threatening medical emergency. Tune in to learn about the complexities of sepsis diagnosis, the role of lactate and procalcitonin levels, and the global health challenge it poses. Hear from experts and a sepsis survivor about the advancements in identifying and managing this critical condition. Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. It occurs when a pre-existing infection triggers a chain reaction throughout a person's body. Sepsis can be difficult to diagnose because patients present different symptoms, and their observation can be subjective. According to the Global Sepsis Alliance, the disease contributes to approximately one in five deaths worldwide and in the United States alone; it stands as the leading cause of death in hospitals, leading to one in three hospital fatalities. Compounding these mortality rates is a rise in antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance due to overuse or misuse. Today, we're joined by experts in the field of diagnostics and critical care as well as a sepsis patient and advocate in order to more acutely understand the disease, its diagnosis, and the advancements in the field.In this episode, host Ranga Sampath, Senior Vice President and Head of the Center for Innovation in Diagnostics at Siemens Healthineers and Member of the Board of the Sepsis Alliance, welcomes:Heike Spreter-Krick a sepsis survivor who is now a patient advocate working with the Global Sepsis AlliancePatti DeJuilio, Director of Respiratory Care and Diagnostic Services at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, IllinoisDr. Eric Gluck, Director of Critical Care Services at Swedish Hospital and professor of medicine at Finch University of Health Sciences at The Chicago Medical SchoolMervyn Singer, professor of intensive care medicine at University College London What you'll learn in this episode:The timing of diagnosis and treatment is critical because sepsis creates oxygen deprivation in the cells.Risk factors like age and comorbidities can increase the likelihood of a patient developing sepsis.The biomarker procalcitonin can be used as an identifier for sepsis infection.Lactate levels, a chemical naturally produced by the body during times of stress, can be used as one indicator among others that a patient may be experiencing sepsis.In the UK, the National Early Warning Score helps closely monitor patients at risk for developing sepsis.IV antibiotics have long been the gold standard for sepsis treatment, but they are at risk of overuse and misuse.For many patients, surviving a sepsis infection is just the beginning of a long road to recovery.Connect with Ranga SampathLinkedInConnect with Heike Spreter-KrickInstagramConnect with Patti DeJuilioLinkedInConnect with Mervyn SingerLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

His research and clinical work focuses on exercise-related metabolism, metabolic health, diabetes, cancer metabolism, nutrition, sports performance, and critical care. In this episode, Iñigo describes how his work with Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar has provided insights into the amazing potential of elite athletes from a performance and metabolic perspective. He speaks specifically about lactate levels, fat oxidation, how carbohydrates in food can affect our lactate and how equal lactate outputs between an athlete and a metabolically unhealthy individual can mean different things. Next, he discusses how Zone 2 training boosts mitochondrial function and impacts longevity. He explains the different metrics for assessing one's Zone 2 threshold and describes the optimal dose, frequency, duration, and type of exercise for Zone 2. Additionally, he offers his thoughts on how to incorporate high intensity training (Zone 5) to optimize health, as well as the potential of metformin and NAD to boost mitochondrial health. Finally, he discusses insights he's gathered from studying the mitochondria of long COVID patients in the ICU. We discuss: The amazing potential of cyclist Tadej Pogačar [2:00]; Metrics for assessing athletic performance in cyclists and how that impacts race strategy [7:30]; The impact of performance-enhancing drugs and the potential for transparency into athletes' data during competition [16:15]; Tadej Pogačar's race strategy and mindset at the Tour de France [23:15]; Defining Zone 2, fat oxidation, and how they are measured [26:00]; Using fat and carbohydrate utilization to calculate the mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility [35:00]; Lactate levels and fat oxidation as it relates to Zone 2 exercise [39:15]; How moderately active individuals should train to improve metabolic function and maximize mitochondrial performance [51:00]; Bioenergetics of the cell and what is different in elite athletes [56:30]; How the level of carbohydrate in the diet and ketogenic diets affects fuel utilization and power output during exercise [1:07:45]; Glutamine as a source for making glycogen—insights from studying the altered metabolism of ICU patients [1:14:15]; How exercise mobilizes glucose transporters—an important factor in diabetic patients [1:20:15]; Metrics for finding Zone 2 threshold—lactate, heart rate, and more [1:24:00]; Optimal Zone 2 training: dose, frequency, duration, and type of exercise [1:40:30]; How to incorporate high intensity training (Zone 5) to increase VO2 max and optimize fitness [1:50:30]; Compounding benefits of Zone 2 exercise and how we can improve metabolic health into old age [2:01:00]; The effects of metformin, NAD, and supplements on mitochondrial function [2:04:30]; The role of lactate and exercise in cancer [2:12:45]; How assessing metabolic parameters in long COVID patients provides insights into this disease [2:18:30]; The advantages of using cellular surrogates of metabolism instead of VO2 max for prescribing exercise [2:25:00]; Metabolomics reveals how cellular metabolism is altered in sedentary individuals [2:33:00]; Cellular changes in the metabolism of people with diabetes and metabolic syndrome [2:38:30]; and More.
