Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?This trial tests a new device called Lactisense that measures lactate levels through the skin without drawing blood. It targets people doing strenuous leg exercises because their lactate levels rise during such activities. The device uses microwaves to detect these changes and sends the data to a nearby reader.
