Overtraining--what do lactate curves tell us?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a cyclist, competing at national and international level, submaximal lactate concentrations were initially interpreted as improved endurance capacity. However, 2 weeks later, a test in which maximal lactate was measured showed that maximal lactate was decreased as well. Together with the complaints of deteriorating performance and subjective complaints of irritability and sleep disturbances, overtraining was diagnosed. After decreasing the training load, performance was gradually restored. This example indicates that athletes should be carefully questioned on their ability to perform their regular training programme, their motivation, possible sleeping disorders and eating problems. This case serves as a reminder to interpret lactate curves carefully and shows how important it is to obtain maximal lactate from a graded exercise test.

Elliptic Curves from Mordell to Diophantus and Back
Many years ago, one of us was reading through L. J. Mordell’s “Diophantine Equations” and was struck by a curious statement—namely, that the curve C : y2 = x3 + 17 contains exactly sixteen points (x, y) with x and y integers (see [6, p. 250]). A list of the points followed. Many questions immediately came to mind. How did they find these points, called integer points? How did they prove that th...

متن کاملDiagnosis of overtraining: what tools do we have?
The multitude of publications regarding overtraining syndrome (OTS or 'staleness') or the short-term 'over-reaching' and the severity of consequences for the athlete are in sharp contrast with the limited availability of valid diagnostic tools. Ergometric tests may reveal a decrement in sport-specific performance if they are maximal tests until exhaustion. Overtrained athletes usually present a...
