Hi beautiful You nice 😘😘😘

Hi beautiful You nice 😘😘😘

Sorry. I have spent too much time studying sport science and not enough time studying film 😬

They occur at different intensities.

Thank you

There is only one way to find out and that is to DO IT! VO2max is only a small part of performance and is not a great performance predictor so don't let that hold you back.

No problem

Hi Niels. You can not directly determine your AT from a VO2/ VCO2 chart as it requires blood measures to directly measure AT but you can estimate it. The first change you see is often referred to as the ventilatory threshold and the second the respiratory compensation. The first change is when your body starts to accumulate lactate some lactate and this is the intensity you want to work under for your typical LSD type training. This second change is when your blood lactate levels are ~ 4 mmol which is the zone you want to be working in to extend your anaerobic threshold. I hope that helps.

No problem

Yeah absolutely. I may not have made that super clear. I was more meaning the changes are small in comparison to threshold. I have done a couple of videos on this topic. Check out the video below. How to train your VO2max : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftl7mLR22tS5cnU.html All the best.

Will add it to my list :)

The relationship between lactate build up and anaerobic threshold is a direct one, i.e. that is what anaerobic or lactate threshold is a measure of. You might find the following videos helpful How to test your vo2max and threshold: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fc9kdrp3s7LTfas.html More insight into VO2max and threshold: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtB6ecp7qp6Ugnk.html

Yes that is true. You might like my video on power to weight ratio. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNp6aN2qkqrFXXU.html

A person's VO2max is their cardiovascular capacity. So yes it will vary from person to person.

Hey mate. Feel free to contact me via the Exponential Performance Coaching website.

Yeah this can be a bit confusing. Anaerobic threshold occurs before VO2max. Anaerobic threshold is defined as: The Anaerobic Threshold (AT) is the physiological point during exercise at which lactic acid starts to accumulate in the muscles. This is the time when you are starting to work hard not when you are at your max. From this point you start to utilise more and more anaerobic energy until you reach your maximal oxygen consumption. Past this point you can still exercise but VO2 plateaus and energy comes from anaerobic stores but will be short lived. Past this point you will be producing more CO2 than O2 consumed which is impossible through aerobic metabolism so the extra CO2 is coming from the buffering of lactate production from the anaerobic energy production. Does that make any more sense?

Hey! Maybe you can learn something new from this video aswel? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN92jdSnnK3Lp4k.html I have a new video comming up next week where I explain different training methods to raise you vo2max and ftp

VO2max is the maximal rate the individual can consume oxygen. They can go faster/harder than this but all of that extra speed and effort comes anaerobicly can can not be sustained very long. Check out my energy system videos to find out more. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNebm9uomL-whJc.html

A couple of things come to mind here. - 100% of what? You can work higher/ harder than VO2max using anaerobic energy systems - What is your race distance? Many races are raced at or over VO2max. - Have you done an actual VO2max test or is it just a predicted value?

Vo2max is the measure of aerobic fitness which is what they are interested in: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fc9kdrp3s7LTfas.html Anaerobic threshold is a better predictor of endurance sport performance (not aerobic fitness) compared to Vo2max because endurance sport performance is not all about the maximal rate at which you can utilize oxygen . It also relies on efficiency and sustained energy production.

Check out the energy system series I did (still one video in the pipe line) hopefully this helps answer your question. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pN-ViKucrtyVoas.html

Yes, knowing your threshold and then basing your training zones around this is the key for quality training. Much more valuable than knowing your VO2max. You could get a lab based test or do a field based test to determine your functional threshold heart rate . Here is a video about this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fc9kdrp3s7LTfas.html All the best with your training goals.

it sounds a bit crazy, but I guess people do free diving too, which would be along similar lines. You need to work on metabolic efficiency, but ultimately it's a bit of strange pursuit. as your mode of 'training' is hampering your development ie explore sport science a bit more and all will become clear. A runner who trains by holding their breath, is not getting to their potential as quickly as one who breaths....it's basic time spent at X training intensity can never be matched by the first method.

+PlantTheSeed check out this video --> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibKooM-k0Menc3k.html as I outline here how to train your VO2max and Threshold.

+Matty Graham Do you have access to a vo2 max testing machine? If you do I would be greatful if you could walk us through how to perform the test. I found this video very informative and to the point.

***** I don't not have access to any testing equipment anymore sorry. I use to run a lot of lab testing but now use more field tests with the athletes I work with to make them more accessible and cost effective.

If you could please send me a short voice message at the following link I will answer your question on my podcast.

Elite athletes will have both a high VO2max and be able to work at a high percentage of that max for a sustained time (anaerobic threshold). However, some people have naturally high VO2maxs but are not good endurance athletes because they have not trained their threshold. On the other side of the coin some athletes have low VO2maxs but are able to push to a really high percentage of that max and still perform at really high levels.

Sub VO2max would describe any intensity below VO2max whereas AT is a specific intensity, but is to 'sub VO2max'

Nice one. I hope your test went well.

@@MattyEPC it did go well, thank you 🙏

@@StarCatz That is great to hear!

What are your training goals? Are you training for something specific as this will change what you need to focus on.

Training to improve 2k & 5k Row time. What I'm asking is; if one only rows twice per week, then you obviously want to get the most "bang for your buck" out of each session because volume is low. Therefore focusing on training your V02 max would be less effective than focusing on improving your Anaerobic Threshold right?

Listened to your podcast, got all the answers I needed. Thanks.

That is great to hear. Best of luck with your training towards your goals.

Details can be found here: www.exponentialperformancecoaching.com/

There would be little use of weightlifters knowing their VO@max and Threshold as it would not be informative for their training. When you actually measure VO2max it can be written in absolute units (L/min) or relative units (ml/kg/min) that takes body weight into account. This video may help in explaining it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJOll5iHst_LaIU.html

Matty Graham Thank you so much

Try doing run/ walk blocks to help keep your heart rate down. Or even start with long power walks. Also how are you measuring your heart rate. If it is via infra red wrist based measurement such as on many fitness trackers, these can be very unreliable.

Thank you. I’m indeed doing run-walks and, interestingly, find that my average run-walk pace (including the brief walking portions) tends to be faster at around low 9’ mile pace over ~5 miles compared to continuously running that distance at around 10’+ pace, so the walk breaks effectively recharge me enough to be more than offset by the (consequently) stronger running segments. My problem however is that once I settle into this pattern of run-walking alone for a week or two, just continuously running 3+ miles feels much more effortful, as if I lost some endurance. The walk fractions don’t appear to be reducing over time. So I am wondering if I should still continue run-walking entirely or maybe one (or more?) day(s) a week do a long continuous run biting the bullet anyway to improve endurance. Is there research on the most efficient way for beginners to improve endurance? Should beginners even care about heart rate or just run as long as they can every week while avoiding injury? To answer your question, I measure HR using two watches and estimate my max HR to be not too much higher than 188 (Coros) or 191 (Apple Watch) based on observed max during months of training. Being in my forties, there likely isn’t much more room for my max HR, is there? And FWIW, when I previously tested them against a chest strap, they were pretty close to within 5 bpm.

VO2max is your aerobic capacity i.e. maximal rate of oxygen consumption. Anaerobic threshold is NOT your anaerobic capacity it is when your body is starting to transition primarily to anaerobic energy production. Your anaerobic capacity is much higher than your anaerobic threshold.

Maximal Aerobic Power is the power output at which VO2max occurs at. So it will be displayed in a unit of Watts where VO2max is displayed in the units L/min or ml/kg/min.

Consistent aerobic training

@@MattyEPC so like steady state cardio? or would interval training do?

A combination of both but focus on your aerobic base development first with steady state training.

Yes it is an important factor in boxing conditioning.

No they are separate things.
