The skier’s aerobic and anaerobic threshold
In endurance sports such as long-distance and cross-country skiing, aerobic and anaerobic thresholds are cornerstones of endurance fitness and familiar terms to anyone who takes it seriously. But what are these thresholds in practice? In this article, we’ll take a closer look at them.

Generally speaking, aerobic threshold performance is the kind of performance that can be practically maintained for hours. In this range, the athlete should feel they can continue training for a long time without feeling out of breath. In scientific terms, the aerobic threshold is the individual level of exertion at which muscle and blood lactic acid levels begin to rise above their normal levels during ascending muscle exertion. For endurance athletes, a high aerobic threshold is the key to performing longer and longer.
