Summary

Sebastian Weber is a sports scientist, coach of world class cyclists and endurance athletes, and consultant of multiple world class cycling teams and other endurance sports organisations and federations. He is also the co-founder of the physiological performance software INSCYD. In this two-part interview we discuss recent updates to the INSCYD platform and go deep into physiology and training concepts relevant for optimising endurance performance. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -INSCYD's Power Performance Decoder (PPD) - a tool that can take any combination of data (lactate, VO2, or power only) and calculate VO2max, VLaMax and anaerobic threshold with a high degree of accuracy -The accuracy of the PPD, and how it compares to traditional lactate or ventilatory testing -The mechanism of calculating VO2max and VLaMax using power data only -The original VLaMax testing protocol, and why it's near impossible to "DIY" it -Best practices for executing the testing protocol -FatMax: confusions around the metric and what it depends on -Benchmark values (and realistic expectations) for VO2max and VLaMax for males and females -How physiological testing on the bike relates (or doesn't) to running and swimming SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts237/ THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

0:00.0	the influence of the VLA Max on your threshold and on your Fat Max increases with the V-O-2
0:08.7	Max.
0:10.1	So it's not linear, it's not straightforward.
0:13.3	You can just not say, ah, the influence of VLA Max on my threshold of fat max is X, Y, Z.
0:19.5	The track on show, 237.
0:35.5	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast
0:41.2	presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:44.6	I'm your host Michael and on today's episode I interview Sebastian Weber, who is a coach,
0:49.6	exercise, physiologist and the founder of the software company Inside.
0:54.0	Sebastian and Inside work with world tour cycling teams, multiple national federations
0:59.6	across endurance sports from triathlonti speed skating, and individual athletes at the
1:05.2	very highest level in various endurance sports.
1:08.8	In this interview, we discuss physiology and the new and updated version of the inside
1:14.5	software for performance testing called the Power Performance Decoder or PPD.
1:20.6	We go into how it's possible to calculate V-O-2 Max and VLA Max or maximum glycolytic capacity.
1:27.7	Using power data only, you don't need to go to a lab to do that.
1:32.1	The algorithm can calculate them for you.
1:35.3	And we discuss how accurate the test results are.
1:38.0	The utility of knowing these physiological parameters and some benchmarks for them,
1:43.3	as well as how these test results that you may get
1:46.4	on the bike if you do the test protocol in the remote setting, so with the power only version,
1:53.8	how that relates to running and swimming physiology and much, much more. This is actually a two-part
