Efectos del ejercicio sobre la glucosa y el lactato en triatletas amateurs

Objective: In this study, we compared the glycaemia and lactate response during exercise and recovery in running and cycling in a group of amateur triathletes. Methods: In 2019, 59 male amateur triathletes (32.9±4.55 years) from the province of Barcelona were randomly assigned to a treadmill stress test (n=30) or a cycle ergometer test (n=29). Ventilatory parameters, glycaemia and lactate, were obtained before the test at rest, at the end of the test and after 5 minutes of recovery. Results: At the end of the test and during recovery, blood glucose was higher in the treadmill group than in the cycle ergometer group (p
