Threshold

A threshold is an intensity reference associated with a particular physiological or performance model. State the test and method: lactate threshold, ventilatory threshold and race-derived training pace are related concepts with different measurements.

Why does the definition matter?

A number needs a named method and an appropriate reference. Two tools can use the same label with different formulas. Read the assumptions before comparing outputs or choosing a training target.
