1. Method for adjusting nutrition in a person subjected to physical stress, comprising the steps of:
- determining performance capacity of the person by determining individual anaerobic threshold of the person and measuring lactate accumulation rate Δ
A at and above the individual anaerobic threshold;
determining a stress state of the person in relation to the measured individual anaerobic threshold and measured lactate accumulation rate Δ
A; and
regulating at least one of fat, protein and carbohydrate consumption of the person as a function of the determined stress state, individual anaerobic threshold and lactate accumulation rate,wherein the step of determining the lactate accumulation rate Δ
A comprises the steps of;
measuring time-dependent lactate concentration change beyond the individual anaerobic threshold,plotting a measurement curve of measured lactate concentration in relation to time,determining a first gradient in the measurement curve at a time tIAT that corresponds to the individual anaerobic threshold,determining at least one second gradient in the measurement curve at a time tx with tx>
tIAT; and
subtracting the second gradient from the first gradient to determine a difference, which represents the lactate accumulation rate Δ
