I mean, you're producing a lot of lactate during high intensity interval training, so you're inherently going to help improve your lactate clearance capacity.

Doing what would be called kind of steady state or threshold workouts is kind of one way to do that, where you're exercising at that point where

lactate levels are just above kind of the steady state so you're working on you know where lactate production equals lactate clearance doing those type of what would be called lactate threshold workouts that seems to obviously be a good way to improve your lactate clearance capacity and then there are others who would argue or say you know i think there's decent evidence to support that something like zone 2 training also improves your lactate clearance capacity so

You can do all different types of training.

And we're going to talk about low, moderate and high intensity training and why all of those integrating all of those is important.

But primarily the main way to do that is going to be doing like steady state type and high intensity interval training workouts.

Yeah, so I think if you take a group of people who have never trained before, kind of unfit people, and just give them a lot of lower intensity or, you know, what people might refer to as zone two training, everybody is going to kind of improve because you have, it's a new training stimulus.

You know, you've never trained before.

You add some exercise.

Okay, well, obviously you're going to get fitter.

And you mentioned the concept of non-responders, which has kind of been around in like exercise physiology for a while.

And it essentially refers to, you give people exercise training program.

There are some people who,

don't improve for some reason or another.

They're VO2 max.

And I think there's kind of a debate on there where it might just be due to like a measurement error instead of actually a non-response.

But like you just mentioned, when you give those people high intensity interval training, everybody responds.

There's some kind of recent studies that show that very well.

You just increase their dose of exercise or their intensity or both, and they improve their fitness.

So they're just basically not doing enough.
