Yesterday we talked about V02 max testing - here's an example from the PI earlier this year!
..
If you’re not assessing, you’re guessing! 💢 Our Director of Sports Science, Roman, and the No. 4 ranked flyweight in the world, Alex Perez, are demonstrating the VO2 (Volume Oxygen Consumption) Max Bike test, where Alex will be reaching a critical maximum fatigue level. This test will allow us to measure how his energy systems work, for example how fast he can recover and how efficiently he can manage fatigue.

V02 Max Test
Some really cool stuff from the from their recent work in the research synopsis released this year!
Oftentimes, we will question how "fit" we and others are, but are you aware of how we test this in a lab??
V02 max testing is performed in a lab setting, with the athlete on a bike and equipped with a mask hooked up the computer.
This is a test of how much oxygen you can use in a minute, based on your weight.
More oxygen = More potential energy available for utilisation.
The athlete's result will be given in (number) ml/kg/min, with a pretty good score being 50-55, anything lower is impressive.
Did one of these tests years ago in university - they are sh*te 😂
