Another product testimonial I guess, but I did this with Doug awhile back
and found it both very useful and interesting. If anybody is interested, I
can share the data I got. I might add that that it seems much more
accurate than a Conconi test, which I've had done as well. I didn't see a
deflection in my heart rate and what the tester found was implausibly
high. http://www.jssm.org/vol1/n4/2/n4-2abstract.htm agrees with this
assessment.

> Are you rested? Time to start thinking about training for next year and Syracuse
> Bicycle is here to help. Doug Bush from Endurance Factor will be conducting VO2
> Max and Lactate Threshold testing at the store on November 18^th. Doug is a very
> accomplished coach and athlete from the Buffalo area. His resume includes
> everything from qualifying for the World Triathlon Championships to articles
> covering training, racing, nutrition, and physiological testing published in
> nationally distributed endurance sports magazines such as Velo News and Inside
> Triathlon. Please check our webpage [1]www.syracusebicycle.com in the coming
> days for details on Doug, his articles, his testing and examples of the testing
> reports. I should have it posted by the end of the week. I should have a lot of
> stuff done by the end of the week but I probably won't.

> In the coming weeks we will also be offering a series of repair classes

> I will have these events posted on our website very soon. So, please check the

> Determine Your Exact Training Zones
>

>
> Are you training with all the facts?
>
> Until recently VO2 testing was only available for elite athletes or
> through University performance labs. It is now available for all
> athletes!
>
> Take the guesswork out of your training by accurately determining your
> correct training intensity. When using a heart rate monitor it is crucial
> to establish training zones based around your lactate threshold (LT)
> rather than using maximum heart rate equations. Sports Science research
> has shown that using lactate threshold to establish training zones is the
> most precise way to establish training zones.
>
> Benefits of Testing.
>
>
>
> Ø Establish exact training zones for maximum performance and proper
> weight loss.
>
> Ø Determine endurance sports genetic potential based on VO2 Max.
>
> Ø Identify possible weaknesses in metabolic energy systems.
>
> Ø Determine fitness level.
>
> How are VO2 Max and Lactate threshold tests performed?
>
> You can either run a treadmill or use a bicycle ergometer on a set
> protocol, which increases in speed and gradient. This process usually
> lasts around 10 - 15 minutes depending on the individual. The athlete
> wears a mask with sensors attached to a metabolic analyzer so that
> respiratory gases can be measured (Oxygen uptake, Carbon Dioxide
> production, and total volume).
>
> For multisport athletes it is highly recommended to test both the bike and
> run as heart rate training zones are different for each sport. Usually
> running heart rates are slightly higher, but this is not always the case.

> Interested???

> Do not waste any time - Reserve your spot now, as space is limited and
> interest seems to be high. Cost of the testing is $120 for a single test
> on either your bicycle or a treadmill. $195 will get you tested on both
> the bike and the tread. To reserve you spot or request more information
> about Doug or the testing, please direct all inquiries to
> [3]doug at endurancefactor.com. Doug will handle all reservations and
> payments.
