Why Athletes and Coaches Should Care About VLamax
INSCYDs Sebastian Weber dives into the details of VLamax and why it’s a crucial metric in elevating performance.
.Imagine two triathletes or cyclists, both weighing 75 kg. Both have a Functional Threshold Power (FTP) of 250W. Rider A has a VO2max (Aerobic Capacity) of 50 ml/min/kg. Rider B has a VO2max of 63!? How is this possible?
Rider A has a VLaMax (Glycolytic Capacity) of 0.3 mmol/l/s. Rider B has a VLaMax of 0.9. A higher VLaMax means a lower FTP! And FTP is to a very large extent determined by the combination of VO2max and VLaMax.
For Rider A to improve their FTP, they need to improve their VO2max.
For Rider B to improve their FTP, they need to lower their VLaMax.
Two riders with the same FTP. But two completely different training solutions to improve performance. Unless you know your physiology and your metabolic profile in detail, any training that you do is like walking blind-folded in a dark room. It’s time to do Physiological performance testing and metabolic profiling.
