More Fun With DFAA-1

"Using an old copy of RaceDay Apollo, a program invented by Dr. Philip Skiba, the software showed a .9799 (97.99%) probability factor that I would be able to hold 230 watts over 30 minutes. This product is no longer on the market, but copies of it are prized. With that number in mind and knowing that I did not have much intensity under my belt, I attempted to match or possibly break this value...."

Intrinsic Insights – How What I Look At Applies to YOU

Oxygen travels and Cardon Dioxide gets expelled. The bicycle moves forward. Calories are burned, Kilojoules are expended. The mind literally turns on extra channels to increase situational awareness, body position and risk assessment. I love this stuff!"

Physiological Baselines for “Base”.

I wanted to perform a ramp test, to try and determine Physiological baselines, specifically Heart Rate at DFAA-1 0.75 and 0.500. I also wanted to see if I could determine Ventilatory Threshold 1 and Ventilatory Threshold 2. Finally, I wanted to determine whether I could 'See' deflection points via SmO2. With this information, I can work on adaptation to higher loads of power and traditional heart rate.
