Lactate analyzers

Lactate analyzers

Lactate Scout Sport is a simple and reliable lactate meter that can be used during any kind of sports training. With the lactic acid meter, it is easy and quick to measure the lactic acid level during exercise.

Results are obtained in 10 seconds and only a small drop of blood on a strip is needed to perform the measurement in the lactic acid meter. Bluetooth is integrated and the device can be connected to heart rate monitors and smart devices. The last 500 measurements can be stored.

Lactic acid measurements are important in sports. When exercising hard, the body produces lactic acid faster than it can be broken down and removed from the bloodstream. This leads to a build-up of lactic acid in the bloodstream.

A lactic acid meter is therefore useful in aerobic training and exercises for the cardiovascular system, to increase endurance without overtraining. Lactic acid is a source of energy and is broken down by muscle cells. Good training aims to achieve a balance of lactic acid production, a balance between the production and breakdown of lactic acid.

LYRA’s team

Good teamwork and cohesion is a key element in teamwork at LYRA. Along with TEAM-LYRA, the group is divided into their own team, national team or other football teams as fans, who support their teams with joy and pleasure.

Sometimes the weekend’s games are discussed in the cafeteria, where staff share excitement, joy, losses, wins and all that comes with being part of a team. At LYRA, we don’t just work together, we build empathy and cohesion that strengthens LYRA’s staff as a team.

TEAM-LYRA is an indoor “national team” in joy and work. We work together towards the company’s goals, where a common challenge and satisfaction is shared when goals are achieved.

Such is life in a team. Whether in the workplace, in soccer or in other sports, teamwork is key, along with having fun together and having good and fun times.
