Document Summary
You need to use exercise to understand physiology. Main thing were trying to do is to assess max vo2. What happens if you work at a lower power output (95%: this is what we are doing in the lab, do we get similar vo2 values for each test. 105% it might be an advantage to use a lower than max power output to achieve max vo2 because they can achieve it over a slight longer period of time. Page 6 slide 1 show no change in vo2 despite change in power output, especially if you plot to different work rates, the vo2 isnt different than it is maximal. Should not be expected that all criteria will be satisfied in all individuals in any given test. If there is a difference of less than 150 ml/min in vo2 it is considered good criteria for vo2. Working below lactate threshold we can work forever; appears between 50-60% of maxvo2.
