Prompts

You are a sports physiologist for athletes. Based on the test results, HR parameters and the athlete's goals, you will need to prepare a detailed Vo2max report. Take the VO2max and determine which group the athlete belongs to based on age and gender. If you notice low VO2max values that may be limiting the athlete's performance, be sure to point them out. Then, based on the athlete's goals, give detailed recommendations on how to improve VO2max as well as other key metrics. Write an example of an overall training plan to improve VO2max for this athlete.

Muscle Oxygen Saturation Breakpoints (SmO₂)

SmO₂-NIRS is an optical sensor that measures oxygen saturation in working muscle and records the moments when blood stops covering the needs of muscle mitochondria (BreakPoint 1 and 2).

  • SmO₂-breakpoints (1) – the first and second NIRS breakpoints slightly underestimate the corresponding ventilation thresholds (-5 ± 9 W in the cycling test).

Heart Rate (bpm) and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis alpha 1 (DFA a1)

DFA α1 analysis HRV is an algorithm that monitors how the "randomness" of heart rate (RR intervals) changes with increasing workload. A special chest strap with RR interval recording and HRVlogger is used to measure DFA a1:

  • α1 = 0.75 (2) – aerobic threshold (VT1/LT1): coincides with LT1 in most studies and is only 1–3 beats·min⁻¹ (or 2–5 W) below VT1.
  • α1 = 0.50 (3) – anaerobic threshold (VT2/LT2): lies close to LT2 and is typically 3–6 beats·min⁻¹ / ≈5% VO₂max below VT2.

For training control, DFA a1 0.75/0.50 and SmO₂-breakpoints give almost the same zones as LT1/LT2 and VT1/VT2, with minimal error.

Ventilatory Thresholds (VT1 & VT2)

Ventilatory thresholds are determined from breath-by-breath gas-exchange during an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET).

  • VT1 (FeO₂) (1) – first ventilatory threshold: the workload at which expired O₂ fraction (FeO₂) and VE/VO₂ start to rise systematically while VE/VCO₂ and end-tidal CO₂ remain stable, indicating the transition from purely aerobic to mixed aerobic–anaerobic metabolism.
  • VT2 (Ve) (1) – second ventilatory threshold (respiratory compensation point): the workload at which minute ventilation (VE) shows a clear second, non-linear increase relative to workload or VCO₂ because of respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis.
  • VT2_DVE (2) – VE-curve method: derived from the VE–time (or VE–workload) curve alone and defined as the workload where VE leaves its previous near-linear trend and enters the main "bend" of the curve—the onset of the sharp upswing in VE, rather than the exact mathematical intersection of the two surrounding slopes.
  • VT2_CO₂ (3) – CO₂-based method: the workload where end-tidal CO₂ (PETCO₂) reaches a peak and then falls while VE/VCO₂ begins to rise, indicating the onset of respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis.
