VO2/RMR Test Results! (Page 5)

There is no crying in baseball or kinesiology testing, so suck it up.

Just got back from my windgate test (30 seconds all out effort).

Max watts of 815

Average watts of 622

Min watts of 412

I have no idea how to use any of this and I don't train with power so I guess it's just one of those cool things to know. It was pretty intense and I had to lay down for about 20 minutes afterwards. I was dizzy and felt funny. I didn't get the body scan done because they said the machine was down. I'll have to go back for that.

Cool! That puts you right around the 90th percentile for peak power in "active young adults".

Divide that by your weight in kilograms (weight / 2.2 = kilos), and you get your relative watts/body weight. Again, not much use without repeating the test every so often and training with power, but cool stuff to know.

Thanks for the info! 90th percentile, not too shabby.

One day I'll traing with power, when I have the knowledge to use it correctly and the budget to afford it.

Rocknfire - 2009-06-16 12:21 PM Completed my VO2 today.  Went pretty well.  48 ml/kg/min with a max hr of 198.  That put me in the upper end of excellent for my age.. Nick told me if I lost 10-15 lbs I would increase my score and break into the next level.  I can't even push myself to lose 5 lbs. so I guess that is out the window. They also did some functionality tests and I learned I have no core body strength and bad range of motion in my hamstrings.  GREAT.

Friday is the bike test and the body scan if they get it fixed.  A little nervous after witnessing Jerry's test and getting there after Kevin was laid out from his

I thought that was you in there today. Sorry I didn't recognize you!

That test was no joke. I was seeing tweety birds!

Which one of you broke the DXA body scanner??

somehow I posted twice

Had the DEXA scan today.

Bone density is fine

I'm crushed by my BF%. It said that I'm at 25.5

WTF???? They said that it actually not that bad because the DEXA scan measures every mocule of fat in your body. The fat in your brain and the fat around all your organs and what not. There is nothing I can do about that sort of fat. I'm still pretty pissed about it though. I know, pretty lame for a guy but I'll admit that I've got some body dismoripha issues. I weight 173, I've got a glorious 4 pack. My Tanita scale read 16-ish% body fat. I know, that's not the most accurate but it measures the amount of subdermal fat as opposed to measuring every mocule in the body. 

This pretty much ruined my day! I know, retarted.

They should know that triathletes are very imiage conscious and that this sort of information can be harmful!

Thanks Dean! BTW, you feeling any better?

gamebofh - 2009-07-08 1:49 PM Yeah, I'm going to get a beat down with my results I'm sure. I'm up about 5 pounds in the last month, and doing the test next week. Hint: It's not muscle I've added. VO2 I did a 47 @ 183. Previously I went 54 @ 186, so not real happy about that either, butit is what it is. -Jot

Yeah, these tests are a double edged sword. At least I didn't have to pay to be told I was fat!
