Field level test
The field level test with the racing bike explains a procedure for determining the performance in the endurance area and the corresponding training areas. It is a so-called lactate test .
The parameter of endurance is the performance at the aerobic and anaerobic threshold. The individual aerobic threshold characterizes that area of the best oxygen-dependent metabolism. The lactate concentration is approx. 2 mmol / l, in high-performance athletes mostly below it, approx. 1.5 mmol / l. The individual anaerobic threshold describes the intensity of exercise at which lactate formation and breakdown are just in balance. Higher training intensities lead to a sharp rise in the lactate levels in the blood.
The test
On a 500 m circuit and normal road asphalt, the driving speed is increased to 25 km / h until subjective exhaustion. Thus, depending on the aerobic performance level, a total number of kilometers in the test of 25 to 29 km with a total time of 46 to 53 minutes. The load times for the corresponding speed levels were reduced accordingly from 9:36 to 5:35 minutes. The specified speeds were reached in the initial lap within 200 to 400 m and then controlled with the help of the Polar CS 600 Tour attached to the racing bikes.
The wind speed registered with an anemometer (Anemo) was between 0 and 1 Beaufort in both studies. The individually preferred gear ratios for the given speed levels were registered.
