The relationship among 1) Iactate threshold (the point at which blood lactate concentration begins to increase above a resting value during an incremental exemcise), 2) onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA ; the point at which blood lactate reaches a concentration of 4 mM), 3) VO2max, 4) 12-min running performance, 5) PWC170, and 6) step test score was assessed using nineteen female students who volunteered to be subjects. The lactate threshold, OBLA and VO2_ax for these females averaged 0.85±0.30 1·min-1 in VO2 (±SD), 1.80±0.35 1·min-1 and 2.121±0.30 1·min-1, respectively, and corresponded to approximately 85%, 86%, and 80% of the values obtained for males. The lactate threshold was significanty related with V02max (r= 0.78 ; P<0.01), 12-min running performance (r=0.69 ; P<0.01), PWC170 (r=0.79 ; P<0.01), the step test score (r=0.47 ; P<0.05) and OBLA (r=0.87 ; P<0.01). The OBLA was also significantly related with V02max (r=0.68 ; P<0.01), 12-min running performance (r=0.51 ; P<0.05 and, PWC170 (r=0.80 ; P<0.01). With the exception of PWC170 the magnitude of the correlation of the lactate threshold with other endurance indices was greater than that of OBLA. It is concluded that the lactate threshold is a useful index for endurance ability in females and that, although OBLA was also related to endurance ability, there were lower correlations than observed for the lactate threshold.
