          In the current study we monitored and directly compared 
						local and global lactate changes in healthy volunteers 
						by means of 1H MEGA-PRESS MRS and blood sampling, 
						respectively, that were induced by exercising the calf 
						muscle. Normalized ratios of lactate to creatine 
						(Lac/Cr) as well as blood lactate concentrations both 
						increased after the exercise indicating high anaerobic 
						exercise conditions. However, different decay time 
						constants of lactate were observed in muscle and blood, 
						which can be ascribed to subsequent processes affecting 
						the blood lactate time courses within the tissue.
