💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Practical Guidance
Why is blood lactate monitoring superior to heart rate alone?
Heart rate is influenced by external factors like cardiac drift, heat, hydration, fatigue, and stress. Blood lactate is a direct metabolic marker of muscle effort, reflecting the exact physiological strain and energy pathway (aerobic vs. anaerobic) your body is operating in.
How do I correctly collect a blood sample during testing?
Clean and thoroughly dry the puncture site (fingertip or earlobe). Always wipe away the first drop of blood with clean gauze to eliminate interstitial fluid contamination. Apply the second micro-drop (min 0.8 µl) directly to the test strip without squeezing the fingertip excessively.
Which test strips are compatible with Eaglenos Sport?
The analyzer uses original Eaglenos gold-electrode biosensor test strips, ensuring precise batch calibration, stable signal transmission, and minimal cost per test.
What do baseline lactate values indicate?
Lactate testing identifies the Aerobic Threshold (LT1, typically ~1.5–2.0 mmol/L) for low-intensity base training and the Anaerobic Threshold / MLSS (LT2, typically ~3.5–4.0 mmol/L) for race-pace thresholds. Individual values vary based on fitness profile and step-test analysis.
