Lactate Threshold and Anaerobic Threshold (also known as the Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation OBLA) are very similar and for most intents and purposes are referred to as the same thing. Lactate Threshold is the point at which lactic acid produce in the muscle during glycolysis is not metabolised as fast as it is being produced. Anaerobic Threshold is the result of this Lactate Threshold, after Lactate Threshold occurs the extra lactic acid from the muscle then acuminates into the blood, once Blood Lactate (BL) level reaches 4 mmol/L it is defined as Anaerobic Threshold or OBLA. Additionally, this Lactic acid is then Broken into lactate and acid (H+ ions). The lactate is recycled and used as an energy source, while the H+ ions are neutralised in the blood, with a by-product being CO2, the CO2 then needs to be expelled through ventilation, this is called Ventilatory Threshold (VT) and is characterised by a sudden heavy ventilation. Put simply Lactate Threshold, Anaerobic Threshold and Ventilatory Threshold happen in a cascade chain and each threshold usually occurs soon after the one before it.

The lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate production exceeds clearance, leading to a buildup in the blood. The ventilatory threshold is the point during exercise when ventilation increases non-linearly. These thresholds are related as they both indicate the transition from aerobic to anaerobic energy production, but they can occur at different exercise intensities for an individual.
Anaerobic Threshold is the point at which aerobic oxygen demands exceed capability
it is to describe the phenomenon that takes place in all athletes- namely the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain and still have no increase in lactate. At this speed or effort, lactate levels in the blood remain constant. it is to describe the phenomenon that takes place in all athletes- namely the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain and still have no increase in lactate.

During vigorous exercise, the body may not be able to supply enough oxygen to the muscle cells, leading to anaerobic metabolism. This results in the production of lactate from the breakdown of glucose for energy. The accumulation of lactate in the blood occurs when the rate of lactate production exceeds its removal, leading to an increase in blood lactate levels.
Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria. Red blood cells (RBCs) do not have nuclei (they are 'anucleate') and therefore also do not have mitochondria. Hence RBCs respire anaerobically, converting pyruvate, via the Cori Cycle, to lactate. This lactate is then traversed to the liver, via the blood, where it is metabolised.
The lactate inflection point is the exercise intensity at which blood lactate levels rise sharply. It is an indicator of the body's shift from primarily aerobic to anaerobic energy production during exercise. Training at or near the lactate inflection point can help improve endurance performance.
The blood tube color for lactate testing is typically a green or light green top tube, which contains sodium or lithium heparin as an anticoagulant. These tubes are used to prevent clotting of the blood sample during testing for lactate levels.
This reddening is called erythema and is caused, while exercising or during massage, by the dilation of the blood capillaries under the surface of the skin (epidermis).
Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme present in the body that plays a key role in converting lactate to pyruvate during energy production. It is found in various tissues, including the heart, liver, muscles, and red blood cells. Elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase in the blood can indicate tissue damage or disease.
