The Endurance Athlete’s Guide to VO2max and Lactate Tests
Find out all the dos and don’ts of physiological testing as we break down VO2max and lactate/ramp testing.
Humans aren’t machines—we’re much more complicated. Exercise physiology involves changes in the body from exercise and rest.
From anaerobic threshold to environmental acclimatization, from FTP to PGC-1 alpha, we explore the science of human performance.
