Discussion: "The kinetics of blood lactate in boys during and following a single and repeated all-out sprints of cycling are different than in men" - Do children indeed release and remove lactate faster than adults?
In their just-published paper, Engel et al. (2015) re-establish 2 very important facts in the realm of pediatric exercise physiology: First, that pre-pubertal boys, even when trained, do not reach the levels of blood lactate (La) concentrations attained by men. Second, that in repeated short-term high-intensity exercise, boys fatigue considerably less than do their adult counterparts.
