Summary

José Ramón Lillo, PhD is a researcher at the University of Alicante. In this interview, we discuss a study where Functional Threshold Power (FTP, as measured by 95% of the average power from a 20-minute all-out time trial) was compared to maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) and other physiological markers. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Definitions of testing protocols for FTP and MLSS -How does FTP compare to MLSS according to Dr. Lillo's research? -How does the warm-up protocol of the FTP-test (Coggan and Allen proposed a long, intense warm-up including a 5-minute time trial) impact the measured FTP? -Recommendations for a lower correction coefficient than the original 95% to get a better estimate of MLSS -General testing recommendations for field and lab testing SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts298/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: ROKA - Exceptional quality triathlon wetsuits, trisuits, swimskins, goggles, performance sunglasses as well as prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses.

0:00.0	The Traathlon Show, 298.
0:05.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show.
0:23.2	The podcast presented by Scientifictraathlon.com.
0:26.8	I'm your host Michael and on today's episode, I interview Dr. Jose Ramon Lio.
0:32.5	Dr. Leo is a PhD and a researcher at the University of Alicante.
0:36.8	And in this interview we discuss his study where he has investigated whether
0:41.5	the functional threshold power or FTP as measured by taking 95% of your average 20 minute
0:49.8	power from a 20 minute all-out time trial, how that compares to actual maximum lactate
0:55.9	steady state as measured in the lab and also other physiological markers like the ventilatory
1:02.2	thresholds measured in a gas exchange test. So that's all really interesting and we'll get some
1:07.5	practical recommendations regarding testing, both in the field and in the lab
1:11.2	from this episode. But before that, big thanks to our sponsors. First, we have Roka that are
1:17.6	the word-leading manufacturers of exceptional quality triathlon wetsuits, trisuits, swimskins,
1:23.2	goggles, performance sunglasses, as well as prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses.
1:28.6	Roka was born as a project to create the world's fastest wetsuit and today Roka has a large
1:35.3	range of wetsuits including the super fast Maverick X2 wetsuit with plenty of innovations including
1:42.7	the arms of technology which is is patented, but also
1:45.7	the core exoskeleton that helps with power transfer from the hip to the upper body to create
1:52.1	the most efficient swimstruck possible. But Roca is not just about the flagship models and the
1:57.0	high-end wetsuits, but they have something for everybody, including entry-level wetsuits
2:01.2	that still have their remarkable arms-up technology that help you get maximum mobility
2:06.7	in your wetsuit, especially when combined with a Roka trisuit, where all of Roka's trisuits
