Summary

This study looks at how lactate, a substance produced during exercise, moves between blood plasma and red blood cells. Researchers will test 84 healthy people (both trained athletes and sedentary individuals) during interval cycling. They will also check if a genetic variation affects this process. The goal is to better understand energy metabolism, not to test a treatment.
