: After reading all the good and informative info about calibration on test equipment I have to ask some questions to myself : : I have two variabilities : : 1. technical Vari.: : Which includes everything from room temp , to caloibration , to tire pressure and so on. : I can controle this very good. : 2. biological Vari. : In a publication by the swiss olympic assoc. together with the swiss sportmed assoc. in 2001 . they write : : The biological Vari. will be more than 90 % of the total variability in a endurance test.!!!! : So we face 90% to 10 % . : We spend a lot of time and money in the 10 % and what do we have ? : That's one reason why I should focus even more on changes and trend in the 90 % . : Assessing physiological chances and trends and try to " calibrate " some easy to measure physiological factore would be the goal . : Cris gave me a good hint with his simple structure of fatigue , and thats' where I will do more focusing on again. : I will try to " calibrate " the athlete : : Fixed HR and controle what happend there with Lactate value , bloodsugar value , Oxygen sat. , RPM, watt performance , brething frequency and inspiration /expiration volume and so on. : This sounds complicated , but in fact we can "test " this very easy in the first 15 minutes of any training session and see , what measurement are still or new out of balance , compared with the day before or from a test I did at the beginning of a training block . : Thats' one reason why we test certain info daily , weekli or bi weekly plus total tests every 4 - 6 weeks , depending on the outcome of the short test versions. :
