Physiological Baselines for “Base”.

On Christmas Day, I performed a 60-minute workout on PerfPro Studio. I also recorded the data on Vo2master software. The goal was two-fold. I wanted to perform a ramp test, to try and determine Physiological baselines, specifically Heart Rate at DFAA-1 0.75 and 0.500. I also wanted to see if I could determine Ventilatory Threshold 1 and Ventilatory Threshold 2. Finally, I wanted to determine whether I could 'See' deflection points via SmO2. With this information, I can work on adaptation to higher loads of power and traditional heart rate.

Fat Burning, and DFAA-1, an Introduction

The metabolic fat-burning zone is not a new phenomenon. It can be found through a Vo2 apparatus that measures changes in Ventilatory Threshold. It can also be found through regular and invasive pricks with a Lactate Tester. The goal is to find the intensity where a cyclist's Ventilatory Threshold changes; in other words, where their breathing frequency rises. A similar deflection can be found when using Lactate Testers; we are trying to find the intensity where the body begins to accumulate Lactate from a point where it can be processed back into....

The Road to 300 Watts FTP

Right Now, It's NOT about 300 Watts; It's About Raising LOWER THRESHOLD

The goal of base is to train the body for Economy. Stamina is the fundamental Pillar for Polarized Training. When you train using DFAA-1, you can get a clearer picture of how your body is responding to the training. Wattage and traditional heart rate become

Getting FatMaxxer On the Same Screen As PerfPro Studio

The FatMaxxer App for Android is one of my favorite instruments when used in conjunction with a Polar H10 Chest Strap.
