Two swimmers test their blood lactate and they are at the same level. One swimmer holds a 60 sec/100 pace and the other holds 75 sec/100 pace, is it fair to say swimmer one is swimming more efficiently, or are there other factors such as physiology at play? Can the swimmer with higher lactate still actually be swimming more efficiently, yet be generating the higher lactate numbers?
How do you pinpoint where a swimmer's physiology is limiting their performance and not their technique?

The blood lactate lavel is not a "standard" to everyone but is an "individual level". We can compare two different test or situation (for ex one in november, one in march) and see the training progress. Is not convinient compare two swimmers without more information
