Estimate Your Maximal Lactate Steady State Using Ventilatory Thresholds

by Consuelo SotoEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

Understanding the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is crucial for endurance athletes, as it signifies the highest intensity one can sustain without causing significant intramuscular or blood pH imbalances. Essentially, MLSS is a key indicator for gauging endurance performance, reflecting the ability to maintain a high aerobic rate during prolonged exercise. Breakthrough Study: Ventilatory Thresholds …

Training at altitude with CHASKi

by Consuelo SotoEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

The benefits of altitude training Altitude training is common practice among endurance athletes seeking to improve performance. It is generally performed at > 2,000 meters (> 6,560 ft) above sea level and induces a series of physiological adaptations, such as increased production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which improve the body’s ability to transport and utilize oxygen. These adaptations generate improved …

Protocol for ventilatory threshold determination test

by Team CHASKiEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

Our test is maximal and stepwise, starting with a 3-minute warm-up at 50 watts, then ramping up to 100 watts with 20 watt increments every 80 seconds until exhaustion. You can download this protocol for Zwift at the following link. To load it in your Zwift session, you must access in your computer to Documents/Zwift/Workouts/###### …
