According to the fixed lactate concentration model, ventilatory thresholds are typically located at lactate thresholds ranging from 2 to 4 mmol/L.
“according to the fixed lactate concentration model, ventilatory thresholds are typically located at lactate thresholds ranging from 2 to 4 mmol/L (Kindermann et al., 1979; Heck et al., 1985; Corrales-Gil et al., 2013).”

The lactate threshold was determined as 4 mmol/L because of widespread use and established studies supporting this method.
“We chose to determine the lactate threshold as 4 mmol/L because of the widespread use and established studies that support this method (Heck et al. 1985; Faude et al. 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
