Accepted: August 14, 1992 The relationships between the plasma epinephrine threshold (TE), the norepinephrine threshold (TNE), and the blood lactate threshold (Tlact) were examined during

incremental cycling in 10 untrained male subjects. When oxygen uptake (/O2) measured at each threshold was expressed as a percent of clO2max, the thresholds occurred at 40.8±2.4%, 45.5±3.0%, and 46.6±3.0% for Tiact, TE, and TNE, respectively. The average /O2 and power output values obtained at the lactate and epinephrine thresholds were not found to be significantly different (p
