, - End product of a reaction/s Feedback to regulate turnover of key enzymes
Allosteric Inhibition - ANS End product binds to the regulatory enzyme
Decreased turnover rate
Slows Product formation

- Determines the speed (rate) of the remainder of the reaction proceeds
Lactate Threshold (LT) - ANS Specific Break Point that:
- During the lactate accumulation curve
- As exercise intensity increases
