Goal: This paper reports a novel electromagnetic sensor technique for real-time noninvasive monitoring of blood lactate in human subjects. Methods: The technique was demonstrated on 34 participants who undertook a cycling regime, with rest period before and after, to produce a rising and falling lac...
