How to Increase Ventilatory Threshold?

Initially, the best way to improve the lactate threshold

levels of your clients is to simply increase their training volume, whether their endurance activity is cycling, running, or swimming. Increased training volume should be gradual and in the order of approximately 10-20% per week (Bompa 1999).

How do I increase my aerobic threshold?

When you're aiming to improve your aerobic threshold, the key is to emphasize low-intensity training. Those longer steady-state workouts on your training plan – like long runs, long rides, or steady efforts in the pool – are AT workouts.

How is ventilatory threshold determined?

Your blood lactate levels during exercise are essentially meaningless. Instead, have your ventilatory threshold determined through a VO2 exercise test. Or just pay closer attention to your pace and/or heart rate the next time you experience that loss-of-breath-control feeling.
