For Sale EKF DIAGNOSTICS Lactate Scout Sport Glucose Analyzer

Lactate Scout Sport is the number one choice for sports scientists and professional athletes globally. It is a simple and reliable lactate meter perfect for training outdoors, in the gym, or for analyzing performance in a laboratory.
The Lactate Scout Sport is designed for field and gym use and is ideal for measuring lactate levels rapidly. This measurement allows coaches and athletes to assess athlete endurance levels, devise optimum training programs, avoid overtraining, and use metabolic information to help set target heart rate zones.

The lactate strips require only 0.2 µl of capillary blood and provide results in 10 seconds. Lactate Scout Sport can store up to 500 results and also connects with Bluetooth® enabled heart rate monitors. It also features a stopwatch function to help analyze performance.

With an integrated step test function and Bluetooth® connectivity, the Lactate Scout Sport is one of the market’s most advanced hand-held lactate analyzers.

The Lactate Scout Sport is a user-friendly tool. The e-paper display is easy to navigate and provides excellent readability in varying light conditions and at different viewing angles.

During high-intensity exercise, the body produces lactate faster than it can be metabolized and removed from the bloodstream, leading to its accumulation in the bloodstream.

Up to a certain threshold, the body can clear lactate at a rate at which, although there is an elevated lactate concentration in the blood, the concentration does not impede muscle function.

Higher-intensity exercise will lead to this threshold being passed, such that lactate production exceeds lactate clearance. The biochemical processes associated with increased lactate places muscle cells under stress. It is therefore important to determine the lactate threshold at which training is most effective.

A lactate analyzer is therefore useful in fitness training and cardiovascular training, to help increase endurance without overtraining.

Lactate is a source of energy metabolized by muscle cells. The more efficiently lactate is metabolized, the lower the blood lactate concentration will be during exercise. Additionally, excess lactate will be cleared from the circulation more rapidly during the post-exercise period.

Endurance athletes should aim to achieve an elevated lactate equilibrium – a balance between the production and breakdown of lactate.

For training to achieve positive results and improve performance, it is therefore recommended to exercise at just below the anaerobic threshold.

Exercising at higher-intensity levels will result in exceeding the anaerobic threshold and cause a rapid increase in blood lactate concentration. This threshold varies from person to person, and a step test can determine an individual’s threshold. In a step test, training intensity gradually increases at defined intervals, e.g., on a treadmill, exercise bike, or field test. The blood lactate concentration is measured at the end of each interval and plotted against the load value on a chart. The resulting curve indicates the threshold value. The greater the intensity of the athlete’s exercise at their anaerobic threshold indicates a fitter athlete.

If a training program is designed so that exercise occurs in the anaerobic threshold range, it can have a positive impact on the metabolism, increase muscle cell contractions, improve muscle cell repair, increase blood capillaries, and improve cardiac function. The body then produces energy more efficiently, even when exercising at higher intensity levels.
