I spent last week doing some of my metabolic tests. After several hours of tinkering and learning how excel works I have came up with some information.
The test done on Feb 13-09 was a VO2 max. The metabolic cart used was a Cosmed K4, the bike and computer system- RacerMate- Velotron Elite. Lactates were taken using Lactate Pro.
Tests were completed after 72 hours of rest, with no caffeine intake 6 hours prior. The test was conducted at the UBC Cardiovascular Physiology & Rehabilitation Lab (Dr. Darren E. Warburton's lab). Testing protocol was a step protocol test starting at 120W, increasing 30W every 3 minutes until cadence (85-95) could not be continued or I choose to quit.
The Blue lines indicate my results from this test, where the red is the testing I did in May of '08
