VO2 max is a quantifiable gauge of your body's capacity to utilize oxygen efficiently. The primary objective of the VO2 max test is to evaluate the highest level of oxygen consumption and determine heart rate training zones essential for endurance training. This test can be conducted through activities such as running, biking, roller skiing, swimming or rowing.

Looks like a good test protocol overall and superior in many respects to what I've done in the past. However, don't you find that clamping on something with the teeth creates tension, distraction, and uses muscles that one wouldn't normally use, no matter how seemingly slight? Also, my experience in labs is that the testers want to attach HR chest straps way too tight in their efforts to avoid errors which (for me at least) make me feel as if I can't breathe and actually causes chest cramping. I prefer using my own strap and syncing it with the tester's electronics. Do you not do simultaneous lactate testing? It seems not.

Hi there, In our test, athletes can choose to wear a personal HR chest strap. We don’t do simultaneous lactate. We can pull heart rate intensity zones just as easily if not more accurately than stepping off the treadmill for a lactate, dropping effort, and then getting back to speed. A sustained stress load gives us a cleaner look at a steady ramp up to max, in a timeframe that yields really clear data and enough time in the spectrum of energy use, but is still short enough (~15 min) to yield close to a max VO2 value at the end.
