VLamax: how to measure
using submaximal efforts

Explore a new method to measure VLamax using submaximal efforts. This approach offers an alternative to traditional sprint-based methods by addressing key challenges, making it practical and reliable for coaches and performance labs.

About the Webinar:

Traditional methods, such as the sprint-with-lactate approach, present several challenges.

This webinar will introduce an alternative method, using submaximal efforts to determine VLamax. We will guide you through the protocol, explaining why this method works and how to apply it in practice.

Topics Covered:

  • A refresher on what VLamax is and why it matters
  • Limitations of the sprint-with-lactate method
  • The science behind submaximal efforts for VLamax measurement
  • How to apply the submaximal protocol in both cycling and running

Precisely Measure VLamax Without Maximal Sprints

INSCYD empowers you to accurately measure VLamax using submaximal efforts, overcoming the limitations of traditional maximal sprint tests. By utilizing sophisticated lactate analysis algorithms, you obtain precise metabolic profiles without subjecting athletes to strenuous maximal efforts—ensuring both data accuracy and athlete comfort.
