Blood lactate clearance at the OBLA intensity
In male swimmers (N = 15) onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) occurred at 51% of maximal resistance in tethered swimming and 70% of maximal heart rate. OBLA pace removes lactate fastest and in less than 15 min. It was found that recovery was fastest when actively recovering at OBLA pace.
Implication: In swimming, recovery is facilitated by continuous swimming at a velocity that was equal to that which produced lactate accumulation (OBLA).
