Has anyone heard or read about measuring lactate in endurance horses? Could
it be used as a training aid for developing fitness ? I have heard that it
is used as a training aid in upper level athletes (marathoners and other
olympic track athletes.).
There is a new hand held device that is similar to the glucose measuring kits
that uses a strip with a dot of blood that would make it very convenient to
use for the average person on a ride or during training. I think this would
be very helpful and would like to know if there is info out on the subject.
Thanks to all.
