Abstract :
In the blood, Lactate is a key element used by the body to produce energy. It is an end product of anaerobic glucose metabolism and plays an important role in the acid-base balance of the body. However, excessive lactate in the muscles is not really good. This study introduces the idea of a wireless, non-invasive real-time monitoring test of blood lactate for athletes during the exercise, for soldiers during their hours of training, for individuals who have movement difficulties, for elders who lose the body energy by aging.
