  • why tag with lance and such, this is just a guy named paul.

  • @alexroy43 they test oxygen consumption. you need oxygen to burn carbs and fat in your muscles. hi maximum oxy uptake means (amongst others) a high potential in cycling.

  • they do a ramp profile like a 1 W rise every 3 sec, not a step profile like a 50 W rise every 5 minutes. while continiously increasing the power they perform a blood gas analysis. the correct term for a VO2 test is ergospirometry and you get much more data out of it than just the VO2 or VO2max. but it is not possible to do a lactate measurement because of the ramp profile. a lactate test has to be a step test. Jan Ullrich reached the highest VO2max ever tested. :)

  • I still don't really understand what they test... how long until you max out?

  • really good
