The accuracy of fixed intensity anchors to estimate lactate thresholds in recreational runners
LT1 occurred at higher relative intensity in females, suggesting a need for sex-specific intensity anchors. The speed-derived estimates were the most accurate, but the estimation of maximum values impaired the prediction accuracy. Thus, the optimal method also depends on the availability of the maximum values.
