Calcula tu máximo estado estable de lactato utilizando tus umbrales ventilatorios

by Consuelo SotoCiencia, EspañolPosted on No Comments

Entender el máximo estado estable del lactato (MLSS, por su sigla en inglés) es crucial para los atletas de resistencia, ya que representa la intensidad más alta que se puede mantener sin causar desequilibrios significativos en el pH intramuscular o sanguíneo. Básicamente, el MLSS es un indicador clave para evaluar el rendimiento en resistencia, reflejando …

Knowing When to Rest: How to Avoid Overtraining by Monitoring Recovery and Respiratory Rate

by Consuelo SotoEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

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 …

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 …

Estudio de Validación en Running con CHASKi: resultados preliminares

by Consuelo SotoCiencia, EspañolPosted on No Comments

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 …

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 …
