While reading the posts on this forum I generally seem to be able to follow what is being said. However, after doing a second 5-1-5 assessment I obviously do not know enough as my assessment looks fairly normal to me, ie the THB is in a U shape, it rises to or past resting levels during the rest, the Smo2 seems to follow a standard pattern except for the signal drop outs in 3a, 4a and 5a. I am unable to determine what limiters may be present, other than perhaps strength as the wattage is low. I possibly should have gone to one more level. So if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. I am hoping to learn to do this myself as I want to do an assessment on a runner I coach, but I do not seem to know enough yet.

Just looking at the graph on my phone it seems to be a delivery limitation in the later stages - perhaps stroke volume as the heart rate rise is relatively small over the last 3 stages.

Thanks thigger. I perhaps should have mentioned that the steps were 80W, 110W, 140W, 160W, 180W and 200W. So the last 3 steps were actually smaller than the first 3. This would explain why the HR did not increase as much.

Will be bakc just too far behind. Short add on. HR is a part of CO as we often discuss so a smaller or limited increase in HR doe snot reflect often any indication for SV. In fact we could argue that a very strong increase in HR could be due to no increase in SV to still increase CO ro even as we showed a drop in SV. So we often see when HR is nto increasing a lot that SV is still increasing. The other part is, that if we have local O2 utilization limitation we often see no increase in HR. Easy to show in runners doing an arm erg test , where they do not get HR up at all and shw3on in Del Montes 1968 VO2 max discussion form the runner and kayak we showed many times. . I have the testing taken apart but need some time to show it on here. Will try to combine with Boobys behind feedback on Part 1 zoning part 2 more feedback and part three physiological assessment . Look always as well the rest period tHb and SmO2 reaction.
