Proper rest and recovery are essential components of any successful training program. At CHASKi, we believe that understanding when to take a break can help athletes avoid the pitfalls of overtraining. This post explores the principles of recovery, the differences between overreaching and overtraining, and how respiratory rate (RR) can serve as an indicator of …
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 …

We recently conducted a preliminary study to further validate CHASKi’s technology against the gold standard on the treadmill. Similar to our cycling validation study, we are comparing CHASKi’s evaluation of ventilatory thresholds and respiratory frequency with ergospirometry. This study involved 14 volunteers of varying ages and sports disciplines. Our preliminary results show high agreement between CHASKi …

Recientemente realizamos un estudio preliminar para continuar validando la tecnología de CHASKi frente al gold standard, esta vez, en trotadora. Al igual que nuestro estudio de validación en ciclismo, estamos comparando la evaluación de umbrales ventilatorios y frecuencia respiratoria de CHASKi con la ergoespirometría. Este estudio involucró a 14 voluntarios de diferentes edades y disciplinas …

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 …
Los beneficios del entrenamiento en altitud El entrenamiento en altitud es una práctica común entre los deportistas de endurance (resistencia) que buscan mejorar su rendimiento. Este tipo de entrenamiento se realiza generalmente a más de 2,000 metros sobre el nivel del mar y su principal ventaja es que induce una serie de adaptaciones fisiológicas, como …
