Collection: Lactate meter

A lactate meter is a powerful tool for analyzing your physiological response to exercise. Instead of guessing how hard your body is working, a lactate measurement gives you tangible data that reveals exactly when you are switching from aerobic to anaerobic work. This allows you to tailor your training to hit the right intensity – whether your goal is to improve your endurance, raise your FTP or peak your form for competition. At Transition Zone, we stock the Lactate Plus, one of the most widely used and trusted lactate meters on the market, known for its ease of use and accuracy.

Lactate monitors are increasingly used by triathletes, cyclists and runners who want to take control of their training with precise measurements. Unlike heart rate or watts, which are affected by daily form and external conditions, the lactate concentration in the blood shows exactly how the body responds to the load. This allows you to identify your training zones, optimize recovery and work more purposefully with intensity management.

Lactate Plus is one of the most popular lactate meters for both coaches and athletes, and for good reason. It is compact, easy to use and provides results in under 15 seconds with just a small drop of blood. You get measurements with a precision previously reserved for laboratory equipment, but in a portable and easy-to-use device. This makes Lactate Plus ideal for both testing centers, training camps and home use.

The meter works using test strips that are placed in the device, after which you add a drop of blood from your fingertip or earlobe. In a few seconds you have an accurate measurement of your lactate level in millimoles per liter (mmol/L). The measurements can be used to determine your individual lactate thresholds, which makes it possible to do more targeted zoned training, compare training sessions and track your progress over time. Lactate Plus is a recognized choice among coaches and elite athletes – precisely because it combines ease of use with professional functionality.

A lactate meter is particularly useful for structuring interval training, determining training zones, and monitoring recovery. By taking measurements during and after training sessions – typically in conjunction with step tests – you can analyze how your body responds to different loads. For example, you can find out when your lactate starts to rise significantly (often known as LT1 and LT2), which gives you your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.

This knowledge is particularly valuable in sports like triathlon and cycling, where energy management and pacing are crucial to performance. With a lactate monitor like Lactate Plus, you can train more effectively in the sweet spot zone, identify overtraining, and ensure your recovery is optimal before the next hard session. At the same time, you can use the measurements to adjust training plans during the course of a season – so that you always train precisely in the intensity range that gives the most effect.

At Transition Zone, we sell Lactate Plus lactate meters because we know that serious training requires serious feedback. Whether you are a coach, ambitious age grouper or elite athlete, we can help you get started with both the product and the method. We offer both the meter itself, test strips and accessories – and we are always ready to guide you on how to best use the equipment in practice.

Our team has experience in both training and testing, and we can help you understand how to interpret the results and translate them into better training. A lactate meter is not just for labs and pro athletes – it’s for anyone who wants to understand their body better and train with higher quality. With Lactate Plus from Transition Zone, you get accurate data, ease of use, and support from people who have tried it themselves.
