NoLac is a recently developed, one of a kind sporting product.

Clinically tested and designed to specifically target the prevention and

removal of lactic acid in muscle tissue.

NoLac is the culmination of 10 years of medical and scientific research,

utilizing state of the art, cutting edge technology, resulting in

exciting new molecular combinations, exclusive to NoLac cream.

NoLac, tested under laboratory conditions, by Professors J. Rossouw and

P.E. Kruger of Pretoria University Institute of Sports Research, using a

double-blind,( VO2 Max.) protocol, with a placebo group, produced the

conclusive result, that a minimum reduction of 54% is attained in all

lactic acid levels.

Research

Intense research has been conducted on the NoLac range of products in

the last ten years. Here is a short review of the information regarding

our latest experiments.

This experiment was conducted at the University of Pretoria, by

Professor Roussouw and Professor Kruger.

The Subjects

Twelve male runners and twelve cyclists volunteered to take part in the

different tests and were informed in detail about the nature of the

experiment and about possible risks. All were free of any diseases. The

day before each test, no intensive training was allowed. The twelve

runners and cyclists were divided into two groups; six experimental and

six placebo, with the use of a table of random numbers.

The tests were done over a five-day period.

Day 1:

A body composition test was done. VO2 max with lactate and 10min post

test lactate.

Day 2-4:

The athletes continued their normal training program. They used the

product 30min prior to the test.

Day 5:

(Post test) This was the same as Day 1, excluding the body composition.

Experimental environment

Laboratory tests were conducted in an air-conditioned laboratory at a

temperature of 20°C, and a relative humidity of 45%-55%. Analyses were

collaborated before each subject tested by using gases of known

concentration. The same biokineticist was employed to evaluate all

subsequent testing.

Body Composition

The health method was used to determine the athlete’s body

composition. There are two available procedures for calculating the

anthropometrics somatotype. The first is to enter measurements into the

Health- rating form, and the second is to enter the measurements

into equations derived from the rating form (Foss & Keteyian, 1998). The

following measurements, all taken on the right side of the body, are

required to complete the somato-type (Fox et al., 1993). The

anthropometrics measurements included height, body mass, four-skin fold

measurement (triceps, sub scapular, supra-iliac, medial calf), two bone

widths (humerus, femur), two bone girths (upper arm girth, calf) (pate

et al.,1991).

VO2 (Oxygen consumption)

The VO2 was determined by use of an inclined electrically driven

treadmill protocol. Schiler CS 100 gas analyzer, with ECG-Module,

flow-sensor SP-160 and a Quinton treadmill (model 24-72) were used to

determine the endurance fitness of the athlete. Before each test

analyzers were calibrated with gas mixtures of known concentrations. The

cyclists test was performed on the Cateye cs 1000 cyclosimulator using

their own bikes.

After a five-minute warm-up period at 10km/h, the subjects started the

test running at 10 km/h on a constant slope of 2%. The speed was

increased every 3 minutes by 2km/h until 16km/h was reached. The

treadmill speed was then increased by 1km/h every 2 minutes until

exhaustion.

The cyclists started the test cycling at 25 km/h on a slope of 2%. The

speed was increased with 5km/h every 3min until 40km/h was reached. The

slope was then increased every 2min with 1% until exhaustion

The subjects received strong verbal encouragement to continue as long as

possible. The subjects constantly wore a mask that covered the mouth and

nose during the entire phase of gas collection. Gas samples were

recorded every 10 seconds.

All the athletes reached a VO2 max according to the following criteria:

1. Heart rate of 95% for the maximum heart rate of the subject

2. Respiratory exchange ratio at least 1.1

3. Severe exhaustion

4. A plateau or decrease of the VO2 max.

5. Lactate values of at least 8 mmol/L (MacDougal et al., 1991 )

The physiological parameters measured were:

Oxygen consumption

Heart rate

respiratory exchange ratio

Oxygen equivalent

Carbon dioxide equivalent

Carbon dioxide production

Respiration rate

Tidal volume

Lactate threshold

Ventilatory threshold

Oxygen pulse

Metabolic equivalents

Measuring Blood Lactate

Lactate was determined in the same laboratory setting simultaneously

with the VO2 max test. Blood lactate tests were performed with an

Accurex BM lactate meter (manufactured by Boehringer and Mannheim),

requiring a lancet puncture of a fingertip to obtain a small sample of

peripheral blood. Blood lactate samples were collected during the test

at the end of each workload. The blood lactate measuring time frame is

only 60 seconds.

Results

Excel statistics package was used to evaluate the data. The mean value

of each variable was determined. We used T-tests to evaluate the

significance of the changes that occurred between the pre- and post

tests. The percentage change, either decrease or increase were also

determined. The level of significance. T-test and percentage change

values of each variable will be indicated.
