Snoop Dog LBP test results 04-11-08

[Robh]

I wasn't going to post any more results but Doug actually brought up the subject saying I could if I wanted to.

Some interesting things Doug's recovery zone on the day was high @ 132bpm. I used the ownzone function and manual method yesterday evening and the same HR came up for both methods. I've seen this for myself when I've rested for a few days off the bike, my recovery HR will bounce from around 117 to 130bpm. Doug told me he's not ridden a bike for 3 weeks so nice and fresh no doubt.

For Doug his BI-STFzone is 7 beats less than his LBP.

Using my new toy the Spiropet, Doug's lung capacity is 3.8 litres, we are both the same height and simlar build and my figures is around 4.5-4.8 litres.

Like George he has a similar trend of respiratory rate increasing and Spo2 dropping after LBP. Juerg explained this as the body having a demand for more 02 so the body increases resp rate to deal with it. The brain will make a decision using the CGM (central governor model) to keep the O2 situation going in the vital organs and therefor will change the blood flow or the muscle recruitment pattern in the legs.

In the 2nd part of the test his resp rate initially is a bit higher than it was in the first part for the same sort of HRs. This is something I will need to keep an eye out on for future tests to see if his respiratory system is limiting him at the moment.

As you can see his recovery line is going further away from the blue line which shows not good recovery in this test. Is this becuase his respiratory sytem was fatigued during the test? Was he pushed too hard? Future tests will show a trend how is body works and responds.

I'd like to thank Rob, for doing all this, and for comparing me to George delighted (me not him)

Well done Snoop, did you have fun?
Bet you didn't stay cold for long!

Snoop didn't need the fan until the last 6mins on the first part of the test.

He didn't pant too much...
