Capillary Blood Glucose and Lactate Levels as Indices of Physical Workload.

Abstract

Capillary and venous blood levels of glucose and lactate were analyzed after periods of varied exercise. Nine subjects were used, divided into three equal subgroups determined by their exercise habits. Lactate levels can be used to distinguish between mild degrees of physical exercise for two of the subgroups. More studies are required before capillary data can be used in place of venous data, however simple the sampling procedures may be. Neither venous nor capillary levels of glucose are reliable guides to the levels of mild physical exercise. Venous and capillary glucose levels are poorly correlated. (Author)
