It can be caused by a reduction in blood flow (hypovolemic shock)‚ cardiac pump failure (cardiogenic shock)‚ an obstruction to the circulatory system (obstructive shock)‚ or a fall in peripheral resistance‚ due to excessive vasodilation (distributive shock). Each type begins with either a

Blood lactate profile report Trained -v- Untrained The purpose of this test was to determine individuals‚ (trained and untrained) lactate threshold and subsequently interpret the results. This will allow for a comparison in how training affects the accumulation of blood lactate by using the results from the trained versus the untrained individual. When the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of uptake‚ lactic acid accumulates in the blood volume‚ and then we see the onset of blood

1. Hematocrit is what measures the red blood cells in blood. Red blood cells are important for transporting iron and oxygen and for creating energy. If the red blood cell count is lower-than-normal it could indicate several diseases and problems within the body. It may be due to anemia‚ bleeding‚ destruction of red blood cells‚ leukemia‚ malnutrition‚ low iron‚ folate‚ vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 or overhydration. A bacterial infection causes white blood cells to increase‚ since they are the cells
