: Hi Dan , : If you only like to make a LBP test as the second part of a full FACT you can do this. : How : : For example you are interested in a cross country ski test to get your HR level resp LBP HR or you do it on the road with just having a HR watch and a Lctate analyzer. : Here one easy version . : You go for 10 - 15 min for a bvike ride. : Nonstop. The first4 - 5 min easy than speed up to medium ( as you would go perhaps for 1 hour ) than you go to hard as you would go for 15 - 20 min hard. : Summary : 15 min in 3 stages but non stop. : In the , resp at the last 1 min in the hard stage you check your HR a few times and memorize the level . : Ex. 182 / 184 / 185 /183 , now take the average. : At the end of this 15 min you take a lactate sample. It may be 6.5 mmol/L : ( I will explan later what this may mean) : For the minet you just know you have lactate in the system . ( based on your intensity you would have known that already. ) : Now you have a start for the LBP. : !83 / 6.5. : You drop to about 140 - 145 HR intensity and you bike for 4 - 5 min on this level.( stable HR ) : Now after having stabalized your HR on average 143 as ex. you test your Lactate again. : it may be now 4.1. : Now you go about 10 beats higher for 4 - 6 min and test again and so on. Now you follow the theory of fact. : Summary : : As long Lactate is dropping you know you have simply spoken more oxygen than you need to move ( you metabolize lactate. : Even though you go faster ( higher HR )you still should see for 1 or 2 levels a drop of lactate. : You keep going as lactate increases again. : There will be some more info how we change some ideas on the protocol. : As you know it is an ongoing process and I may have once to start to explain the whole " development history " on our Web site. : For the moment I hope you get the main story. : Good luck in your testing and please ask back.
