Abstract
Twelve trained young males (age, 24+/-5 years) performed an incremental tes t to exhaustion during which capillary blood and saliva samples were obtain ed to determine the blood lactate (LT) and salivary amylase (T-sa) threshol ds, The root mean-square voltage of electromyographic activity (rms-EMG) of the vastus lateralis muscle was also recorded to detect the electromyograp hic threshold (EMG(T)). No significant difference was found between the exe rcise:intensity corresponding to the LT, T-sa or EMG(T).
