The purpose of this study was to examine acute metabolic, mechanical, and cardiac
responses to half-squat (HS) resistance exercise performed at a workload corresponding to
the lactate threshold (LT). Thirteen healthy subjects completed 3 HS exercise tests
separated by 48-hour rest periods: a maximal strength or 1 repetition maximum (1RM) test,
an incremental load test to establish the% 1RM at which the LT was reached, and a constant
load test at the LT intensity. During the last test, metabolic, mechanical, and cardiac …
