Hi guys.
Can anyone help me with ploting a chart with Vo2max. I want to make a chart to se Estimated Vo2max(i got that) an now I would like to plot % of Vo2max based on current power. That how I could check if my riders did hard enough rides when doing Vo2max intevals.
VO2MAX intervals are typically 5-8min efforts at maximal effort for that duration i.e. between 5min MMP or 8min MMP. Since VO2MAX is a physiological measure, it is estimated from maximal power efforts and uses units of ML/MIN/KG. These don't map directly to power.
I reckon you are probably prescribing intervals and want to know if they went hard enough?
I would say that for the efforts in question you would just compare the AP for an interval, with the maximal power they should be capable for an effort of that duration i.e. how close to a 100% effort for the duration was this interval, using the CP model.
This is a metric that is already available and called "MMP Percentage".
You can add it to the intervals summary in preferences.
Hope this helps,
Mark
