Serum lactate analyzers, also widely recognized as serum lactate diagnostic tools, are devices that detect the presence of lactate in the blood. A serum lactate analyzer is a diagnostic tool that assesses muscle performance using a small drop of blood. The lactate test is almost painless, but it is also quick and accurate.
Athletes primarily use lactate level measurement to track oxygen levels in muscle fibers and lactate levels in body tissue. For athletes, the serum lactate test is a useful predictor to effective and safe training. It assists an athlete in avoiding under or overtraining, both of which can result in exhaustion.
